SD signs Mark Prior (1yr/1M + 2M in incentives)

[Gopher74]

Y'know, come to think of it the tone would be a lot different if Prior were to have signed with us. Probably either entirely white- "He'll be back in Top Form!!", or entirely black- "We wasted a million that could've helped signed our young guys for THIS!?!"

 

It's amusing to laugh at the Padres selection, but nothing is 100 percent certain. This is a very low risk gamble they took to shore up an already fairly strong rotation on a team that already has a pitcher's advantage at home. Better yet, it only cost a million- and anybody who argues the merit of wasitng that is still stuck in the sub-Thirty Million days of pure salary hell we've gone through.

Yea, I simply don't understand how anyone in their right mind can't see why the Pads did this? It's a very cheap deal with almost no risk and only reward and a lot of it on their end.

 

And if he does have a nice season, you know he's going to be back in So Cal next year anyway. It's been pretty well known for a while that he's wanted to pitch in SD.
