Curt Schilling  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Schilling can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Dating back to his days in the minors, Schilling has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders. It's hard to explain but Curt Schilling plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Schilling doesn't field his position well. Schilling is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Schilling has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Schilling as a pinch-runner on occasion.
