Mechanically Challenged

He Has Perfect Mechanics!!!! He'll NEVER BE injured because of his Perfect Mechanics!!! He's the best thing since sliced bread and sliced cheese combined!
This is what we heard throughout Mark Prior's first 1.5 years on the cubs. Video of him with all that fancy equipment at USC. Well, after the hubbub of his first year, and after many (cough) "tune-ups", Mechanic Boy is back in the shop once again. This time with a sore shoulder

I don't know who to blame, I don't know how this could have been avoided, but if I were a "pitching coach" , or "manager" trying to find a new job, I definitley wouldn't want Larry Rothschild's or Dusty's resume especially in regards to:

1. How to avoid pitching injuries
2. How to rehab injured pitchers. (hint Do Not Use Chad Fox as Reference)
3. How to avoid walks (as a pitching staff)
4. How to put a batting order together
5. How to put a bullpen together.
6. How to have good fielding pitchers.
7. How to have a fundementally sound team
8. When to take pitchers out of games
9. When to calm a pitcher down after an idiot fan simutaneously screws 25 baseball players and millions of other fans.

But Look on the bright side, when prior "comes back" in June, it will be like trading for an all- star, without giving anyone up.

I'm now going to vomit.
