Schill with Five Red Sox Related Questions
This is the most painful part of the All Star break. It seems like the Sox haven't played a game in years, and they don't even get going again until tomorrow night. Sports writers inevitably mail in pieces like "keys to the second half" and "what to look for." Here, in his latest blog post, Curt Schilling hits on five points, with the difference between him and most baseball writers being that he clearly knows what he's talking about and his experience allows him a much deeper and meaningful insight on the topic. Case in point: in discussing the potential acquisition of Roy Halladay, he hits on how the move would also be a big one for the Boston bullpen, because it would require them to pitch fewer innings. In all of the Halladay conjecture so far--and obviously there has been tons--I don't think I've read one writer touch on that aspect of a potential deal. I also agree with Schill that all the Red Sox really need in the second half is health. He says:
"They don’t need anything if they have health because in my opinion if they stay completely healthy they are going to run away with the division. No team can match their staff 1-5 and certainly not in a five- or seven-game series."
I couldn't agree more.
