Mark Prior or Rick Ankiel?

from Rotoworld:

 Mark Prior-S- Cubs Apr. 12 - 5:22 pm et

Mark Prior had to leave his extended spring start after two innings Thursday because of shoulder soreness and is scheduled to see Dr. Lewis Yocum.
It figures. Prior seemed to making progress during the second half of the spring, but it was clear he wasn't completely right after the Cubs decided not to send him to Triple-A to begin the year. It might already be time to write him off for 2007.

I'll go with Ricky. I think Prior may be on the Alan Benes tour from here on out.

I think Ankiel will stay healthy longer if that counts for anything.

He homered again today for Memphis, thats two so far.

Definetly Ankiel

Well, unless Prior is capable of converting to the outfield, he may be finished. Given his 2003 attitude (as chronicled in "Three Nights") I can't help but think, "serves him right".

Was he this injury prone in college?

No. Which is why he was held up as an example for young pitchers as having "perfect" mechanics.
