Prior - Talksox

bosoxnation07 · 12-16-2007, 08:47 AM

If they can get a good deal, I think the Sox should get Prior for a 2 yr deal and stick him in AA or AAA and see what happens with him. CHC have a history of crushing young pitchers. A change of scenary and philosophy, plus someone from the Sox helping his mechanics could end up with a big reward. He shouldn't cost that much $ or a draft pick I think. Just an idea to add some depth. If he stays healthy(

), he could help come September.

No thanks. The Yankees, Mets, and Nationals are reportedly interested.

Prior
The hottest free-agent starting pitcher on the market is a guy who has one win in the past 27 months and probably won't throw a pitch before Mother's Day. That's Mark Prior, a fellow being chased by nearly a dozen teams. And here they are, according to the best info we've been able to piece together:

Yankees, Red Sox, White Sox and Mariners in the AL. Mets, Cardinals, Padres, Astros, Giants, Reds and Nationals in the NL.

Looks like the Yankees may be out of it.

"We kind of looked into it, but at this point, no," Steinbrenner said of the Yankees' interest in Prior.

If thats what Hank says then I imagine they will sign him to atleast a 3 yr deal...

This thread is just hanging out there and annoying me. He signed w/ the Padres for a 1 year deal at 1 million. I am surprised Little Stein didn't sign him for 3 and 40 million. Maybe they will go after Rocco. I heard he once lived in the gang infested hood known as Framingham..or was that Warwick? They like guys who "keep it real." I should know..I grew up in the hood. The Cape is all about the gangsta life. Listening to Vanilla Ice. Now that was one bad mother fucker.
