How arrogant of Schilling to think we'd even want him. There are some players, like Damon, who could make that transition easily. There are others, like Pedro or Manny, that have too much bad blood between the teams to ever make it as a Yankee. Schilling is definitely another one who could not.

As for Pavano, I hope you're right. Nothing would make me happier. Given his past, though, I have my doubts.

I think Bernie would be a wonderful mentor for younger players when the time is right, but I just don't think that the time has arrived. He's still got plenty to contribute.
