I wondered the same thing salsa. His injuries were a line drive off the hand and something to do with his appendix. the appendix thing might have something to do with age, but it isn't exactly the sort of wearing down that i worry about with an old pitcher. The broken bone in the hand doesn't worry me at all. that happens to pitchers. When he came back from the second problem he had an era that was below 3 if im not mistaken.
It is something of a risk i agree, but I think looking at Schilling as in the mold of Clemens isn't unfair. But, Clemens had his fair share of little injuries and those generally were wearing down muscle problems.
whats amazing about this deal is the money. only 12.5/13 mil might affect what pedro gets when he tries to re-sign.
