March 1, 201313 yr One last comeback attempt. Can't believe he would want to pitch again for the manager that ruined him. :sssh::sssh: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/2013/03/01/mark-prior-in-camp-with-the-reds/
March 2, 201313 yr Dusty is looking to finish him off. My guess is at some point his arm flys over the back stop :lol:
March 2, 201313 yr Low risk.... with an small chance of helping the Reds out of the bullpen in some capacity later in the year. He did have 38 K's in 25 innings pitched, and allowed only 15 hits. That is a very good ratio! However it does appear he will have to be work on his control because I doubt we will be seeing his fastball in the low or mid 90's anymore. I'm glad they signed him.
March 19, 201313 yr The Reds signed Mark Prior to a minor league deal, according to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The move reunites Prior with manager Dusty Baker, who managed Prior early in his career with the Cubs. “He called me and ... asked for a chance,” Baker told Fay. "He feels like he has some unfinished business." Critics often point to Baker's handling of Prior as one of the reasons the promising right-hander dealt with so many injuries. Despite the perception that Baker mis-managed Prior, they have remained close and speak a couple of times each year, Fay reports. A series of shoulder problems derailed Prior's career, and he last pitched at the MLB level in 2006. Prior has tried to resurrect his career with stints with the Padres, Rangers, Yankees and Red Sox. The 32-year-old had been working to strengthen his shoulder in the hopes of receiving an invitation to Spring Training. The Cubs drafted Prior second overall in 2001 and he soon became one of the National League's best pitchers. He posted a 2.43 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 as a 22-year-old just a year and a half after being drafted. Reds Sign Mark Prior: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
