You realize Schilling was 24/25 when he came to the Phillies, right? It's not unheard of for a pitcher to break out in their early to mid 20's. Not everyone is Tim Lincecum or Felix Hernandez.
As for the McGwire news - he shouldn't have taken steroids, but I'm more bothered by the way the public and press are foaming at the mouth about it. All the writers who wanted him to come clean are now picking at the way in which he "came clean."
(And I feel the same way about Bonds, Clemens, Pettite, and all the others.)
