    • Schilling: Sox Will Not Keep Big Papi If He’s Dead Weight

    Posted by on June 5th, 2009 · Comments (4)

    Via a phone interview on WEEI this afternoon, Curt Schilling said that winning ballgames is more important to the Red Sox than loyalty…and if David Ortiz can’t turn himself around that Boston will “fix” the situation and ensure that Terry Francona has the 25 players who will give him the best chance to win – and that Big Papi knows more about this than anyone else. (You can hear Schilling start to talk about David Ortiz 13 minutes into this audio clip.)

    Meanwhile, Ángel Berroa is still on the Yankees 25-man roster.

    That’s one difference between Brian Cashman and Theo Epstein.

      Oh puh-lease. They’ll never release him. Also: Brad Penny, Julio Lugo and Rocco Baldelli give the Sox the best chance to win?

      A terrible, awful, pathetic attempt to slam Brian Cashman. Even you’re better than this, Steve.

      He’s a frickin bench player…and a temporary one at that. Julio Lugo is their STARTING shortstop. nuff said.

      It’s Schilling’s opinion, nothing more. Doesn’t necessarily mean Epstein will follow through. Papi’s waaaaaaay too popular in that town not to give him 100 chances to right himself.

      Cutting him now would be the equivalent of cutting Bernie Williams in 2003.

      I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, but…

      David Ortiz = Angel Berroa?

      Take a couple of aspirin/acetaminophen and go back to sleep.
