Schilling done for year

So apparently Curt Schiling is out for the year. Not very surprising, but very intriguing considering the state of the Boston pitching staff. A group comprised of a very solid Josh Beckett, a soon-returning Daisuke Matsuzaka, an emerging Jon Lester and Tim Wakefield is still trying to fill out the number five spot. Justin Masterson has been solid in that role, and he looks to stay in the rotation as long as Bartolo Colon is out.

Fantasy Impact: It will be interesting to see what the Red Sox do when Colon is eligible to pitch again in just over a week. Even if Masterson struggles, Clay Buchholz has been dominating in the minors, and was in Boston's rotation to begin the year. The Red Sox have three capable pitchers for Schilling's spot and shouldn't miss much other than Schilling's leadership.
