Mark Prior Just Needs A Change Of Scenery (And A New Shoulder)
Written by wrigleyville   
Friday, 14 December 2007
Much like would-be suitors who tell themselves the hot girl won't be crazy with them, it's fun to watch other teams and their fans try to talk themselves into Mark Prior.

Lord knows that isn't a criticism. I traded a late-round draft pick to Sarge for him in our fantasy league last year. I was telling myself the same things they are saying today. For example, this from Crashburn Alley:

Maybe it was the Cubs system of developing pitchers that has tarnished his arm health, and maybe another organization can halt his D.L. stints. It’s the epitome of the low-risk, high-reward move.

Sign Prior to a multi-million, but incentive-laden contract. If he gets hurt again, meh, the Phillies wasted a few million with a potential right-handed Cole Hamels. I’d certainly prefer an injury-prone ace push an injury-prone Adam Eaton out of the starting rotation, than actually have to watch Adam Eaton attempt to make 33 starts in 2008.

Prior also throws a decent amount of ground balls (40.3% over his career), strikes out a lot of hitters, and doesn’t walk too many.

If there’s one player on this list that I would suggest Pat Gillick to sign, it’s Prior, without question.

I have no real quarrel with this, other than the next to last sentence, which should read: "Prior also throws a decent amount of simulated games (80.3% over his career), throws a mean towel, and is very impressive off of flat ground from 45 feet."
