Reds Sign Mark Prior

The Reds signed Mark Prior to a minor league deal, according to John Fay of
the Cincinnati Enquirer. The move reunites Prior with manager Dusty Baker,
who managed Prior early in his career with the Cubs.
红人以小联盟约签下Mark Prior ─ 而红人总教练就是...
“He called me and ... asked for a chance,” Baker told Fay. "He feels like
he has some unfinished business."
Baker：“他打电话给我，问我有没有机会。他觉得他有未完成的工作。”
Critics often point to Baker's handling of Prior as one of the reasons the
promising right-hander dealt with so many injuries. Despite the perception
that Baker mis-managed Prior, they have remained close and speak a couple of
times each year, Fay reports.
有很多人批评Baker恶搞才会搞烂前途光明的Prior。不过他们的关系依然很近，都还有在
连络。
A series of shoulder problems derailed Prior's career, and he last pitched at
the MLB level in 2006. Prior has tried to resurrect his career with stints
with the Padres, Rangers, Yankees and Red Sox. The 32-year-old had been
working to strengthen his shoulder in the hopes of receiving an invitation to
Spring Training.
Prior生涯受肩伤所苦，上一次在MLB投球是2006年。接下来分别在 Padres, Rangers,
Yankees and Red Sox等队找寻东山再起的机会。32岁的Prior一直加强肩膀，希望能获得
春训邀请。
The Cubs drafted Prior second overall in 2001 and he soon became one of the
National League's best pitchers. He posted a 2.43 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 2.1
BB/9 as a 22-year-old just a year and a half after being drafted.
Prior是2001年的第二顺位，并很快成为国联最强的投手。(成绩如上)
