he should just hang it up now cuz it's the same thing every year. he gets injured in the early part of the season and then is put on the dl for most of the season anyways. he should just give it up and go on w/ his life.

Him and Kerry Wood have been just such dissapointments over the years. It seems every single season they are put on the DL and have season ending surgery. I think Prior only made about 9 starts for the Cubs last year. They should release him and get some younger less injury prone talent.

Yeah i was really hoping he would be back this season with the way they were talking. Then after the season starts they immediately say he's done, i mean wtf?? Didn't they have some kind of idea that he wasn't going to be ok? Didn't they have some kind of idea he wasn't going to be ok last year? And before that?

The Cubs spent +$300 million on talent, why couldn't they invest at least $100 million into a robotic arm for Mark Prior?

The CUBS have treated both Wood and Prior like scum they didnt know what was wrong with their arm and they just wore them out Wood a pitcher only really knew how to throw a fastball at the start of his carrer and Prior one of Three Prospects that they had at pitcher in 2001 the others Juan Cruz and Sergio Mitre, gone, Cory Patterson injury prone, gone, Hee Seop Choi sucked and injured gone, and soon Prior, gone. Just watch something wrong go with Rich Hill, Felix PIE, Angel Guzman sucks, its a shame.

I don't know much about the Cubs, but I doubt Cubs treated two of their best pitchers in the past like scums...Some players are just injury prone and their talent goes to waste.

They overpitched them at too young an age, prior in his 2nd year pitched 217 innings not including the playoffs, so I agree the cubs wasted 2 great talents.

Prior is a great pitcher and was one of my favorites in the game but he keeps getting hurt.
