How is he recovering from all of his injuries? Will he ever be the same?
My guess is no.. but is there any hope left?

Same old story with him. I think it would probably be best to part ways. See what you could get for him.

Man, that's too bad.

He is so good...

If Prior could have stayed healthy he could be a top-five pitcher, he’s a tremendous talent. We all know what he can do when healthy (2.43 ERA, over 200 IP, 1.103 WHIP, 245 SO, 50 BB, 18 wins, 6 loses in 2003). The Cubs should have got rid of him in 2005 when they were able to get Miguel Tejada.

It's not like Prior is keeping the Cubs from winning the WS. I say give him another shot. If it works out, great. If he can't stay healthy, somebody will take a flyer on him.

Cubs agreed to terms with RHP Mark Prior on a one-year, $3.575 million contract.

He's taking a small cut in pay, but he can earn an additional $150,000 each for 27 and 30 starts. Prior asked for a raise from $3.65 million to $3.875 million in his second year of arbitration. The Cubs offered him $3.4 million. Prior will contend for a rotation spot this spring after spending the winter attempting to strengthen his right shoulder.
