Mark Prior signs with the Red Sox. Seriously.

Yes, Mark Prior is still around.

Seriously.

The oft-injured former Cubs pitcher has apparently caught on with the Boston Red Sox. He will build up arm strength in extended spring training before the organization determines the best place for him.

Prior hasn't pitched in the majors since 2006, when he was with the Cubs. He's had stints with the minor league teams of Rangers, Padres and Yankees but none have panned out. At 31, there is still a lot of time left to turn things around.

If only his arm will cooperate.

Good for him. From a fan who loved watched Prior (when healthy, of course), I hope he can crack the big leagues once again. It would be a huge story. Heck, maybe they'll make a TV movie out of it. They'll probably make one off of Jamie Moyer's 2012 season anyways.
