The Yankees have finalized a minor league contract with righthander Mark Prior, who is trying to make it back to the major leagues for the first time since 2006. Still trying to come back from shoulder surgery, Prior spent most of 2010 with an independent minor league team.
Here's wishing some good luck to Prior in his bid to return to the Majors. Lord knows he'll need it. If you will remember Prior from his days with the Chicago Cubs, you'll probably remember he was an outstanding pitcher who had injury after injury. He was so good for a couple of years that many thought he could become one of the great ones. Still only 30 years old, Prior should be entering his prime. Instead, he's trying to make a roster spot with the Yankees in the minor leagues.
Best of luck.
