Prior's career is already better than Fidrych's was - the Bird ended with a 29-19 record, and Prior's at 42-29.

That's a good comparison. Prior, like Fidrych has had only one really good year, but he's still young enough to rebound and have a good career. I don't think Prior will ever be as great as most of us thought he would be. I think Fidrych threw way too many innings at a young age, while Prior's mechanics, like Kerry Wood, have been his downfall. I read on Yahoo that Prior isn't really letting loose, or finishing his pitches because he doesn't have confidence and is afraid of getting hurt again. If he can get over that mental hurdle and build up his arm strength, I think he has a chance. It's really sad for him and for baseball fans.

I think Prior still has a chance to have a better career than the Bird.

previous likely got here out of his mom womb on the DL. he's been harm services his finished occupation. As for Kerry timber, you basically cant have that aggressive of a curve ball and not in any respect have some style of elbow complications. back earlier pitch counts became a controversy, pitchers may throw upwards of two hundred pitchers in line with sport. Baker is between the more beneficial respected managers in around the league and by ability of his gamers. no longer retaining he's the finest manager, yet he does know what he's doing.

I think Prior had a better career. It was certainly longer than Fidrych.

the problem with Prior in my opinon is he lost his confidence and is afraid of getting injured. His velocity is going up, touching 90 from the mid 80's at the start of spring training. he just needs to figure out he can still do it and do it and not worry
