Inside Dish: Schilling could be a Phillie in '04
By Ken Rosenthal - Sporting News
It's becoming easier to picture Diamondbacks righthanded pitcher Curt Schilling rejoining the Phillies for the opening of their new ballpark next season.
After awarding contract extensions to Randy Johnson and Luis Gonzalez, the D-backs have $50 million committed to five players in 2004, but their payroll is expected to be only $85 million.
The ascent of young pitchers such as rookie righthanded pitcher Oscar Villarreal, the team's new No. 5 starter, could persuade the team to move Schilling this offseason.
Schilling, 36, will earn $12 million in '04, the final year of his contract. He could replace potential free-agent righthanded pitcher Kevin Millwood, who is earning $9.9 million with the Phillies. . . .

Honestly, I don't see him leaving here while he still has a contract with us. I could see him heading back to Philly afterwards. But that remains to be seen. If the Phillies flop this year, or something, then he might want to stay here.
