Prior Out Till June?

From his own mouth...

His projected return may be pushed back to June at his current pace.

"It's just getting [the arm] stretched out," Prior said.

Prior said in a normal year he would throw from the beginning of January until the start of spring training.

"So obviously that's how long it usually takes [to get ready]," he said.

"Hopefully it doesn't take that long. It's more of a gut thing. I just know it's not right yet. It's not strong enough. It's not as easy to throw my long toss as it usually is."


I guess I will have to defer to the Ivy Chat Media Rule on this one and see what he has to say about it.
