Will the Sox Sign Curt Schilling? As a Yankee fan, I say, by all means....sign a 41-year-old pitcher who went 9-8 last season!

Schilling wrote on his 38pitches.com website, "Talks with the Red Sox are moving. Theo and I have spoken multiple times daily over the past week, and given the current situation, I am feeling very confident that we will be able to finalize a 1-year contract to allow us a chance to finish our career as members of the Red Sox organization.

One question: Why does Schilling refer to himself in the first person plural? Is he pregnant?

Meanwhile, the Yanks look like they'll sign Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, and are hoping that Andy Pettitte will decide to pitch next year. And A-Rod may be realizing that he misplayed his hand....

That decision [to opt out of his contract] triggered a firestorm of negative attention for Rodriguez, possibly tarnishing the image of an image-conscious player. For that reason, said a person close to Rodriguez who spoke on the condition of anonymity, Rodriguez is dismayed with the fallout and is considering whether to give the Yankees a discount on the front end of a new contract.

Translation: A-Rod and/or Scott Boras realize that the way they've handled this has hurt A-Rod's value on the free agent market, and he's not going to get a raise over what the Yankees were paying him....
