It already is the same old. Prior has come to ST exactly once (2003) ready to play. Other than that, it's always something with this guy. I want to like Prior but it's his job to be ready to play when pitchers & catchers report. If he can't do that, then there's only one person who is to blame, and that's Mark Prior. I don't know that you can "blame" Prior for having shoulder issues that have slowed him down. He was born with a loose shoulder, he didn't do it out of boredom one day.
