PrintAgent: Prior wants to pitch for the Padres
Mark Prior's agent knows suckers when he meets them. After getting paid a cool million dollars for absolutely no regular season work, Mark Prior is open to sucking off the Padres teet some more.
"We would definitely be interested in the Padres," Boggs said. "It's a situation where I'm sure he would love the opportunity to come back with the Padres.
"But they [Padres] will have to express interest. Hopefully they're interested in us. We're interested in any team that has reciprocal interest in Mark."
Prior's agent sounds like an 8th grader passing notes. I'll tell you I like you, if you say it first.
Ok, let's say we're interested... hypothetically! How is his arm?
"He feels really good right now. He's at the beginning stages of his rehabilitation. He's playing catch, but he's not at the point where he's airing it out yet," said Boggs, who did not want to set a timetable as to when Prior might be game-ready.
I'm sold.

1 Million
doesn’t seem like a lot in Major League baseball, but that will be 47% of our payroll next year.

I'd rather trade Peavy to the Dodgers
than have Barry Bonds on the Padres.

I said yes, but I was joking
And then I saw other people say yes and my only hope is that other people are kinda joking also.
I think the Padres could give Gaslamp Ball a million dollars and we’d prove a better return on the investment than Mark Prior. I’m not even joking about that.
And I am totally serious in agreeing with you
Is his agent serious? “The Padres will have to express interest.” Interest in WHAT? His carcass? His cadaver of a right arm? Yeah, I"m SURE he’d love to come back to the Padres – they paid him a million bucks and he got to fix his arm…again. And that whole “not setting a timetable” thing is hilarious. Remember when they didn’t want to set a timetable last yr? You know what that timetable ended up being? Never. If anything, his agent should be saying “Well Mark feels pretty bad about what happened and he’s going to play this yr for free, so it’ll be like he signed a two yr deal for 500K per.”
The Padres will have to express interest? How about if Mark expressly shows us that his f***in’ arm works first?

His arm worked endorsing
his paycheck…

Mark - find another sucker...

"at the beginning stages of rehabillitation"
That cracks me up.
For me, Mark Prior will always be linked to this article.
Reading all this
Makes me remember of Mark Prior’s existence, and makes me feel a whole hell of a lot better about Mike Hampton.
The difference with Hampton and Prior is that Hampton actually had the luxury of pitching a few games this season to show that he was once again healthy. With no proof that he’d eve be effective again, Marky’s going to have a lot more trouble finding some cash from anyone, I’d have to gander.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Minor league contract
Can we do that/would he take it?
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
