The writer said that any time a pitcher has done that, historically, he has become a superstar (Pedro, Big Unit, Clemens, Koufax, etc.) except for the rare few with bad injury problems.

It was a very small list. Yet BOTH Kerry Wood and Mark Prior were on it.

Oh, what might have been.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well Kerry Wood might not have been a superstar but he was a good pitcher and theres no denying that and he was better than Prior.

Prior had more of an upside.

it went downhill pretty fast. if he ever does pitch in the majors he wont be the same though
