I was hoping the Yanks could get him for the bull pen this year but I bet the Astros are offering a starter position.

Yeah, a starter position so he can throw his arm out again, and make a few million while he's at it...

I like the idea that the Astro's see Prior as someone who can "add depth" to their rotation.

Cub fans might disagree.......

You know it Jamman.

Just introduce him to Tejada long before the season starts and everything will be fine.

Dravecky had a cancerous growth removed from his arm..then broke it in a celebration..then had to have it amputated.

have fun with that houston...he will be you al time winner in simulated games. i am happy hes gone. CUBS!!!

ARE LOSERS!! Seems you were cut off there...

madhatter | 12/18/07, 03:28 PM

I think Prior will have a bounce back year.....I think hes at least at the top of available pitching free agents....i think the reward outweighs the risk....just my opinion.

Let's try that name again... | 12/18/07, 04:35 PM

I think that you must have missed the last 3 or 4 years of Prior being on the DL... I think you have no idea what you are talking about... I think Prior is broken... just my opinion.

Thank goodness he is gone i couldn't take his crap anymore, it was so depressing. In the midst of playoff race, Prior "is on his way back", & then BAM! He breaks his left nut or something and is done for the season and then some. The guy is so fragile it's just annoying to hear his name, BUT I will LOVE to hear it in the Astros' organization when they go "Prior, TRYING to come back from pitching that simulated game, will ATTEMPT to make the flight to Los Angeles to watch the series."

Hey, why not? If he returned to form he would be a steal. However, if you think that he's a great pickup I have a bridge in New York to sell you.

El Petranek | 12/18/07, 10:17 PM

If he goes to Houston maybe he can train with Roger Clemens and learn how to "get in shape" like Roger? Roger has a healthy arm. :)

Ironfinch42 | 12/19/07, 12:25 AM

Wow, I didn't know that Houston needed some depth on their DL for 2008.....

bobmala | 12/19/07, 07:19 AM

Prior can come to New York. It will give Pavano someone to talk to.

believeintherookies | 12/19/07, 12:15 PM

He hated that toliet they call a stadium in TX. Why in the toilet duck would he play for them. Makes no sence.

Grossedout9 | 12/19/07, 01:42 PM

Prior was a great pitcher when he was healthy, too bad that Baker ruined him and Wood in Chicago.

DannyV 713 | 12/21/07, 09:56 AM

Get this kid on steriods already!

TDP | 12/21/07, 02:02 PM

new news prior went to padres which is a better deal for us. it would suck to face him in a houston uniform and does well. at least we won't have to face him as much. hopefully we can get a pitcher we can count on next time.
