That would be 2003, 2nd runner up for Cy Young. Ya know, his first full season. Since then we're talking 2 years. Only 2 years! In 2004 he had the weird baserunning accident with Marcus Giles and last year the freak line drive off his elbow....and he still managed 21 and 27 starts those seasons. He's 25 years old. I think the Kerry Wood Junior label and all that is rather unfair.
20 wins this season for Prior. You heard it here first!
What ever happened to Mark Prior anyways?
