From the Frumpy Hobbit’s Twitter feed: Buster Olney reports Mark Prior is throwing on flat ground, plans to work out for scouts. BYOT: Bring your own towel . RT @Buster_ESPN Given the state of Prior’s shoulder when doctors finally operated on it, it’s quite likely that Mark Prior, whether he was throwing a baseball or a towel, spent much of his career in Chicago in an excruciating...

RT @Buster_ESPN While we’ve spent some time here at WV23 pondering Prior’s injury history, there’s something rather unbecoming about a beat writer being such an ass about a player’s injury history [...]

A few notes from ESPN's Buster Olney... Olney believes other teams could join the Reds and Tigers in cost-cutting mode. He says the teams with payroll space "will be in position to make some excellent deals." Olney finds it unlikely that Matt Holliday, Jason Bay, or John Lackey will receive a $100MM contract. Catcher Brad Ausmus on 2010: "I could end up playing if somebody wants me."...

While Oct. 14, 2003 is a date celebrated in many baseball circles (see: Cardinals, White Sox fans), it was really one day later that marks the beginning of the end of the Dusty Baker Era. Kerry Wood admitted he choked on the mound as he allowed seven runs on seven hits and four walks in 5.2 innings in the Game 7 loss. It happened one night after Mark Prior's infamous collapse that was aided

Please welcome Patrick Clark to the BtB fraternity (not that I'm opposed to making this a co-ed house down the road.) My first exposure to Patrick's work came through his fascinating look at Dominican youth baseball . He'll be taking a look at the international game at BtB, both by dissecting angles most fans aren't familiar with and, eventually, from the objective, data-driven side. Give him a warm...

Per Bob Nightengale of McPaper , the Diamondbacks are unlikely to pick up Webb’s $8.5mm option for next season, making him a FA. Nightengale claims that they will try to work a 1-year deal with him, but since he’s been pitching since 2003 I’m pretty sure he’s a FA if the option isn’t picked up. As JCust and MO mentioned in the last thread, Webb would be a Hendry special...

I’m bored and so I thought I’d take a quick look back at the 2001 draft, the Prior draft to see what else was available. I tried to keep it round by round to look at realistic talent available each round to see what we could have ended up with.

(full size chart available HERE) To Mr. Daniels: First off, I clearly owe you an apology. I had it on good sources that you were about to sign Mark Prior to a minor league contract yesterday, and I wrote it up as I was breaking down your roster’s value. There’s a myriad of reasons why someone would think of you first when hearing of reclamation projects, as the names Jones, Vizquel, Gagne,...

Happy birthday to Mark Prior , who turns 29 today. In 2003, at the age of 22, Prior threw 211 1/3 innings, with a 2.43 ERA, striking out 245 hitters, walking just 50, and allowing 15 homers. He was third in the Cy Young balloting, 9th in the MVP balloting, and looked like the guy who would be a dominant pitcher for the next decade. He threw 118 innings in 2004, 166 innings in 2005, 43 innings in 2006,...

After spending a few weeks out of the country, Josh Deitch returned to find his Yankees at the top of the AL East, but the airwaves buzzing with angry condemnations of the organization’s handling of Joba Chamberlain.

NEW YORK – Stephen Strasburg set a standard even before setting foot on a professional baseball field. The San Diego State pitcher and the Washington Nationals agreed to a record contract just before Monday's midnight deadline, a four-year deal that will pay the hard-throwing right-hander slightly more than $15.1 million. Strasburg was selected first by the last-place Nationals in June and set the...
