As mentioned, I think the only thing you can use to question his durability is the injury that caused him to miss time at the beginning of 2004. Considering that it hasn't flared up again, I don't view it as something that will be a recurring problem. The Giles collision and the line drive could have happened to anyone. I can't question his durability for missing time when a baserunner ran into him at full speed and when a line drive hit him squarely on the elbow. To be honest, I think it's a testament to his durability that he was able to come back from the line drive as quickly as he did. If I could fit all of that in my sig, I would. Who is it that has the Prior is not a injury risk in their sig? You rang? I'd say try for 3/25 with Prior with a 14M option. 3/27 seems way too much when you figure Prior tops out at 5M this year and 9M in '07. That's giving Prior 13M in '08 which is quite possible, but the point of signing him to 3 years now is to get a slight discoutn on those years by giving him certainty.
