In fairness I think Schilling was probably better than just good over the next five years, and certainly better than above average. Pedro was just so gonzo off the wall crazy good that he makes pretty much everyone else look like chumps. If there was a bell curve for performance, Schilling would be way to the right over the next five years. Pedro would be on a different chart.
P.S. Can we all just agree on this so I can stop complimenting Pedro Martinez? Blech.
