Schilling Has Serious Shoulder Injury

According to the Boston Herald, Curt Schilling has a possibly season-ending shoulder injury (perhaps a torn rotator cuff or labrum).  Schilling's career in general seems in jeopardy, in my opinion.

The Herald report says the Red Sox have already explored whether they can void Schilling's $8MM contract.  That's created a conflict with the team and Schilling, and they're also at odds over him needing surgery.  It's unknown whether the Red Sox missed the injury in his physical (seems unlikely) or if it happened since then.

With Beckett, Matsuzaka, Lester, Wakefield, and Buchholz, the Red Sox do have the depth to sustain this injury.  But a solid sixth man other than Julian Tavarez would be nice.  I don't see the free agent market offering much in terms of a mid-rotation addition.
