Schmidt, though, has struggled with a right shoulder problem during the 2007 season, the first of his three year $47 million deal. After only three starts he missed 45 games with the injury before being reactivated from the DL on June 5th. He started three games after his return from the DL, the last two were created more concern. On June 18th he was returned to the DL and underwent exploratory surgery to find the cause of his ineffectiveness. The damage to his shoulder was more severe than expected and he missed the rest of the 2007 season due to injury. The Dodgers hope to have Schmidt back by the 2008 All Star break.

Schmidt considers his place of childhood, Kelso Washington, home. A 1991 graduate of Kelso High School where he lettered in Football, Basketball and Baseball.

Like many baseball players, Schmidt has several superstitions. He never steps on the foul line when walking to or from the pitching mound. He always has a family breakfast of French Toast on game day. And never talks to media the day before he starts.
He is a born-again Christian. Of note, his Uncle, the late G. Raymond Carlson, was General superintendent of the Assemblies of God (1986-1993). Schmidt has been active with City Ministries International, bringing inner city kids to games and giving a post game testimony.
