Good luck Padres, a look at the Mark Prior injuries

Posted December 27, 2007 on Dicekmania's Blog:
A good look at the injuries Mr. Prior has had in the last 4 years. "The reasons for concern are self-evident. Over the span of five years, Prior has been on the disabled list eight times, and only once during this time was he able to become active at the end of the 15 days. What's even more worrying is that seven out of the eight injuries were related to the his pitching elbow and pitching shoulder. Now I'm no sports physician (and I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express), but those sound like really important parts of any pitcher's body. Even now, we're not exactly sure if Prior's going to be ready to step on the mound anytime soon." Mr. Glass Box, don;t break please... It was smart to offer him a deal for that kind of money, not a lot of risk and the potential for reward, but then again who thinks the kid is going to stay healthy, what the over/under on the date of his first trip to the DL this year...
