Curt Schilling, 41 year old pitcher for the Red Sox, has decided to try to work out and strengthen his shoulder instead of going through surgery like his doctor recommended. It is a serious injury, but if Schilling misses a year at this tender age that could certainly mean the end of his career. Also, opting for surgery would give the Sox the option to void his $8 contract for this year. Boston has an influx of pitchers at the moment, so losing Schilling wouldn’t be too bad, but having him there would probably be better. It is all a question of health vs. his career and it looks like Schilling wants to take his career over his health. Whether it is a good or bad decision, we will find out in a few months.
