As sad as it is to see Mark Prior not doing well in Spring Training, it is important the Cubs really get the "Prior/Wood" monkey off their backs. Prior is in need of extended work to hopefully regain his form and confidence. He should (and likely will) be sent to the minor leagues. Lou Piniella is thankfully not burdened by the franchise's all too common tendency to deny reality. He would be doing less than his job not to give Mark Prior a chance to get better, which can best occur out of the limelight.
