Prior Injured for Life

And in the continuing kicking of Mark Prior, because he was on the minor league DL when he had his surgery, this season will NOT count towards his major league service time. He will now have to wait until after the 2009 season to be a major league free agent.

He still gets what, $4 million for this season? I'm not that concerned.

 

The question remains...what will the Cubs decide to do with him next offseason if he comes at the same price.

A Cubs fan of my acquaintance was in my establishment last night and made a comment along the lines of, "Well, now Prior's finally going to get his shoulder fixed and be ready to go next year."

 

I started laughing so hard that one of my co-workers asked me if anything was wrong.

When you consider that a player can't receive more than a 20 percent (I believe that is the number) paycut in arbitration (and that is just the rule, nobody has EVER got a paycut in arbitration I think), meaning he'd still be paid like 2.75 million next year at least if he's back, I smell a non tender.
