Mark Prior may be the first major casualty of the Spring.
Of course, he has always been a non-elite starter to me. He was great in 2003, but hasn't sniffed that level since.
Fortunately, he has never been available to me. He was the top pick in our minor league draft and had his 2003 season in his second year of his Roto contract.
That off-season he was unobtainable and signed to an additional two years by his owner.
Now at $20, he was hurt in 2004 and made only 20 starts. He was undesirable to me at that level with injury concerns.
Las season, he lookd better but I didn't shake the injury concern.
Now he is hurt again. Too bad for the team that carries him and his Roto contract. He will have to take a salary cap penalty.
Who'd have thunk Brett Myers would be the better pitcher right now? (He went #2 in the same minor league draft that Prior was taken #1.)
