I think the Cubs need to get Prior healthy and pitching while he still has value ASAP, even if it means drugging him up. Once he is pitching well for us, we need to trade him right away for another starting pitcher who doesn't get injured, even if he is less talented. Once Prior is pitching this year, could we get any of the following straight up for him: C.C. Sabathia, Cliff Lee, Brandon Webb, Brett Myers?

 

TAKE OUR PITCHER WHO HAS BEEN INJURED EVERY SEASON (WHETHER HIS FAULT OR NOT) AND GIVE US YOUR YOUNG STUD PITCHER WHO HAS NOT HAD HEALTH PROBLEMS AND IS ALSO CHEAPER. THX

I think it's crazy that Prior is already making adjustments to his mechanics. How did things get so bad?

 

read carroll's blurb again. he said his mechanics are what kept him together for so long.

It's something I'd really like for them to be able to do, not something I think we definitely can do. We'd just have to hope that Prior could give us some 2003 quality starts early on and one of those teams would get blinded by his potential as the next Clemens.

I wouldn't call Myers a stud, nor is he really cheaper.

That seems to imply he has a weak body, which I can't disagree with.

Or that he pitched a ton at a young age.

Read the article on Chicagosports.com. Rothschild was saying how Prior's mechanics have changed from 2003 up until now and that is why they are adjusting his mechanics.

=D>

 

I don't know why they didn't adjust it earlier, it does fall into the line of my thinking that I presented awhile back about his mechanics getting worse and that they needed adjusting.
