i dont now about prior but he was on the 60 day dl at the end of the season i
think its doubtful the cubs got rid of him because he was throwing the ball like
88mph he needs it to be like 95 to be back to the form he was the last time the
cubs were good

The problem is not the closer, but getting to the closer. When you
pull your starter in the 6th or 7th holding a lead, but the relievers cough it
up before the 9th, a lights out closer doesn't help. Look at the Phillies. Lidge
did not blow one save and the bullpen usually held the leads till it was closing
time. K-rod will look great in a Mets uniform as long as we dump heilman,
schoenwise ( schoenstupid) and the rest of the bums and get some real relievers.
I wonder if Mark prior could be transformed into a closer??
