We've lost out on one of our targeted starters-who-have-serious-injury-problems. Mark Prior, the former Chicago Cubs phenom, was signed by San Diego today. I'm wondering how much the Pads paid for him. After all, at the very best he'll be ready to pitch in mid-May. As far as I know, he hasn't even thrown off a mound since 2006. Eek! This pretty much narrows the field to Kris Benson, Jason Jennings, Jon Lieber, Freddy Garcia, and if we're really lucky, Bartolo Colon.
Side note/mini-rant: On mlb.com, they have a section on their Hot Stove Report screen listing the four "Top Free Agents." I find their choices of the top guys to be extremely disappointing. Mike Piazza? He's about 88 years old and will probably retire this year due to injuries. Why isn't Shannon Stewart, who hit .290 last year for the A's, on that list?
