Prior third in NL CY Young voting

 

 

Teammate Wood does not finish in top four

Maybe Mark Prior can celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary with the National League Cy Young Award next year.

Prior, who is getting married Saturday, finished third in the voting for the award, released Thursday by the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Teammate Kerry Wood, who led the National League in strikeouts with 266 and set a career high with 14 wins, did not finish in the top four in the balloting. Eric Gagne won the award.

Prior had nothing but praise for Gagne, who finished first with 146 votes.

'I think Gagne had an unbelieveable year,' Prior said. 'He's the most deserving, to do what he did and not blow a save, especially with the situations he was put in a lot of times. To rattle off 50-some odd straight saves is unbelieveable.'

Prior's nuptials cap an incredible sophomore season for the Cubs right-hander. He led the team in victories with an 18-6 record and finished second in strikeouts (245) and third in ERA (2.43).

'He's easily one of the best pitchers in the game,' Atlanta's Greg Maddux said. 'He's one of the few who has great stuff but also pitches.'

High praise, indeed. Prior went 2-1 in the postseason, including a two-hitter against Maddux and the Braves in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.

'A lot of guys never get to this point until they're in their 30s, some guys never get to this point at all,' Cubs manager Dusty Baker said of the young Cubs pitchers Prior and Kerry Wood. 'Imagine how good they're going to be.'

Prior's outing was the team's first complete game in the postseason since Claude Passeau did so in Game 3 of the 1945 World Series. The two-hitter was the second in Division Series history.

He didn't seem fazed by the postseason. Prior had pitched in big games before, leading USC to the College World Series and competing internationally.

'This is what you dream about and this is what you play for day in and day out through the course of the year, to be in the situation that we're in right now,' he said during the NL Championship Series against Florida.

A three-week stint on the disabled list in July actually seemed to help. He returned on Aug. 5 and went 10-1 with a 1.52 ERA in the second half, including back to back complete game victories over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

'I think (the time off) did help me from the standpoint that it gave me three weeks off to get away,' Prior said. 'The season can get stressful and having three weeks off and knowing I'm not allowed to pitch and not able to pitch, it's a chance to regenerate and get your mind cleared and refocus on what you want to do.

'Those three weeks were three long weeks and I obviously don't want to sit out,' he said. 'What made it easier was that the team was winning. When I came back in, I was just hoping I could keep up with everybody. They were pitching well.'

Prior not only kept up, he lapped his teammates. The right-hander went 5-0 in August, giving up three earned runs over 39 innings for a 0.69 ERA, and won NL Player of the Month honors.

He followed his dazzling August with a 5-1 September and again won Pitcher of the Month honors.

Included among Prior's late season wins was a 4-1 victory Sept. 21 over Pittsburgh. He fanned 14, which was his seventh out of eight double-digit strikeout games for the year.

'When he gets in trouble,' Baker said, 'he really reaches deep and he has something to reach to.

'For his age, he's one of the best pitchers I've seen at pitching to the situation,' Baker said. 'Usually that's what veteran pitchers do. Instead of trying to get this guy out and that guy out, (Prior) has an idea and a plan on what he wants to do.'

Even veterans like Cubs reliever Mike Remlinger were dazzled by Prior's poise.

'For him to be doing what he's doing at his age, it's phenomenal and more than anything it's the consistency, emotionally and performance-wise,' Remlinger said. 'To go out there and not get too high and not get too low -- you hear it all the time but it's difficult to do for everybody. And to do it with that amount of experience that he has is unbelievable.'

Prior said Thursday he was honored to be among the elite of the National League and finishing third was an accomplishment.

'Just to be in top three is obviously pretty exciting just being my first full season,' Prior said.

Other around the league were not surprised to see the sophomore pitcher ranked among the best of the best.

'He's tough,' Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson said of Prior. 'I think he's the best pitcher that I've ever faced and quite possibly the best pitcher in the big leagues. He's going to be successful for a long time.'

'He comes at you,' Bucs outfielder Tike Redman said. 'He doesn't care if you are Barry Bonds or Ken Griffey. His fastball just jumps on you and he has a good curveball. He kept us basically just guessing.'
