Those stupid someone-hater terms agrivate me. It is just a way of grouping those whom one disagrees with together into a group. Furthermore, WHO hates prior here? There were those who were skeptical, but no one hated him. OF COURSE they were skeptical, his velocity was not to be found in his first start. /rant I recall several threads recently ready to give up on Prior and try to trade him for whatever we could get for him. Maybe hater is the wrong term but I'd say quite a few people had all but given up on him ever being productive again.
