shifting into baseball talk for a second
andrew, what do you think prior will do this year if he stays healthy?? last year the problem for him (When he played) was his inability to throw a decent strike with anything but a fastball. His curveballs were constantly high/in the dirt, and when that happens hitters just sit on the fastball and will kill him all day long. This is the key for any power pitcher, if somebody has to prepare for a nasty 12-6 curve, an 88 mph slider, AND a 96 mph fastball, he has no chance whatosoever, but these hitters could time a 10000000 mph fastball if they are sitting on it (and know the pitcher has no chance to throw anything else for a strike)
If he can get some decent control with the curve/slider this year, and stays healthy, he will be one of the best in the league
