Red Sox Digest 23rd Feb 2007
All the Red Sox news that's fit to print
Every morning before work I go through the online papers and pick out the best of the Boston Red Sox related articles in the Globe, Herald and many others so you can just sit there, point, click and read. Considering I am five hours ahead of the East Coast of the USA, I am posting this as most of your alarm clocks go off over there. Enjoy.
Let's chop it up
First the Boston Globe, and the big news is it looks like the Red Sox will wait until 2008 before making a pitch to rehire Curt Schilling.

''Schilling declared he will file for free agency after the season and will cut off contract discussions with the Sox until that time.''

FORT MYERS - When you really stop and think about it, Curt Schilling [stats] never had a chance. Not when he is 40 years old and just one in a strong class of potential free agent pitchers. Not when the Red Sox [team stats] have money to burn and Schilling looks like he just ate Dustin Pedroia.
