With apologies to the great Kerry Wood, the last time the
Chicago Cubs had a young pitcher this good, he turned out to be Greg Maddux. Mark Prior has the potential to win as many Cy Young Awards as Maddux has and become the Roger Clemens of his era. The mention of Clemens and Maddux is no accident. Prior is in many ways a combination of the two pitchers, with nasty stuff and a bulldog mentality like the Rocket and the pitching smarts of the professor-like Maddux. His rise to dominance in his first season, blowing away the minor leagues in a few short months and coming up to post one of the league's best ERA in the bigs, established him as one of the game's premier starters.
