April 24th now waiting for May 12th

Espn.com is reporting that Mark Prior will go in for "exploratory surgery" on Tuesday April 24th. Hoping to find what might be wrong, it is unknown if they will just lay him on the operating table and then open him up like the game Operation, until they find something that could be wrong with him. I could run down all of Pryors injuries and problems that he has had over the last couple years, but it can all be summed up in this statistic, since 2004 he has been on the disabled list 8 times, which is well alot, Ken Griffey, Jr hasnt even been on the disabled list that many times and Fred Taylor is impressed.
Based on this info on Mark Pryor, the revised Over/Under on Kerry Woods surgery has been moved up one week until May 12th. Heavy action has been on the under since the line was set November 7th, and the new date has shifted based on this action and the fact that it seems like both of these guys have surgery with 3-4 wks of each other (not actual fact, just seems like it).
I think it is about time the Cubs cut their losses and try to get pennies on the dollar for these two has beens, oh wait excuse me, Flash in the Pans. Maybe the new ownership of the Cubs will make this a priority, or maybe in the sales contract, the Tribune Company will have a lifetime contract on both of them included in the sale.
