Talk:Bigger Bust - Mark Prior or Kerry Wood?/@comment-101836-20060315150131

I think it has to be Kerry Wood at this point. I say that because Prior is still pretty young and could still turn out well. Wood, on the other hand, is not a young man anymore. He&quot;s starting to get old, and it&quot;s been far too long since he&quot;s been able to pitch for any substiantial amount of time. When he first came up, people compared him to Clemens because of his build, his style, and the fact that he was from Texas. He prompty threw a 20-strikeout 1-hitter (which should have been a no-hitter) against the Astros. He was going to be a star. Now, he&quot;s a failure.

If Prior continues down this path, I think he would ultimately be the bigger bust. But, because he still has a chance to succeed where I don&quot;t think Wood does, I have to say that right now, Wood is the bigger bust.
