Staying healthy is a real issue for most aging veterans in Major League Baseball. They have to stick to a regiment of rehab and rest if they what to endure another season. That's what Curt Schilling wishes will be the cure for him. Trying to avoid season ending surgery on his shoulder is one of the main issues. Boston feels it's in their star pitcher's best interest to explore all his options. Both have agreed the rehab and rest will be the measure taken. I think Schilling has 1 or 2 seasons left in him before he retires. He's had a heck of a run with the Red Sox.
The credentials are there for him to get into the Hall of Fame. Schilling owns three World Series rings, 2 with the Red Sox and 1 with the Diamondbacks. Also is a Cy Young winner and among active pitchers with the most career strikeouts is in the top 10. Capturing another World Series title with Boston would be icing on the cake. I think the tough veteran pitcher will be okay if he doesn't overextend himself and takes it one step at a time, not trying to rush his progress. As long as he stays active while showing signs of further improvement at the start of Spring Training everything else should fall into place.
