im a die hard cubs fan and i still am a fan of mark prior. its awesome to see him pitching again even if it is just the independant league and im glad a mlb team sees enough to take a chance on him. hopefully he finally has it figured out and can still craft a career. even if its only as a reliever it would be nice to see him back in the game.

I think he can make it as a reliever in the big leagues, like Kerry Wood.

i do to and i really hope he can. im a huge fan of this kid. hes only 30 so if he can get back on the right track then there is no reason he cant pitch for another 10 years and have a good career.

Very true.
Not only is he only 30, but also he's 30 with less wear on his arm than most 30 yr olds. Even tho he's been injured, he hasn't pitched for the past 5 years.

thats actually a great point that i didnt even think of. hes 30 with the arm wear of a 25 year old. maybe ill start picking up some RCs of his on the dirt cheap. wont cost me much and if he pitches well ill make a few bucks

Great story. I'd love to see him pitch well and revive his career.

Yep, I always liked watching him. Hope I can continue to see him pitch.
