"I know Curt, I've played with Curt. Best pitcher every fifth day I've been around in a big-game situation. I've never played with John Smoltz or I'd put him there, too. When you needed a 'W,' (Schilling) stood up. He's a great pitcher. In his time, one of the toughest around," said Millar, now an MLB Network analyst. "Does Curt rub people the wrong way? One hundred percent, because he's very opinionated. I just speak as a baseball player, that you stand in the batter's box against him, (he's) a very good pitcher. Hall of Fame qualifications. He was a great big-game pitcher for the Boston Red Sox when I was a part of them. You can go on for hours about Curt Schilling, if you like him or don't like him. That's not the conversation here. The conversation is, yeah, he was a stud on mound."
