MOOSIC – A pair of successful major leaguers could soon pitch
for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in Mark Prior and Kevin
Millwood.
As a corresponding roster move from Friday, when Lance
Pendleton was called up to New York, former big league all-star
Prior was assigned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre from the Class A
Tampa Yankees.
Prior, who signed a minor league deal with the club in December,
made three relief appearances for Tampa with his last being on
April 15. In those games, he allowed two hits, two runs and two
walks with a pair of strikeouts in three innings.
He was a starter for the Chicago Cubs, breaking into the majors
at age 21 in 2002. His best year with the club was in 2003, when he
went 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA in 211 1/3 innings pitched while striking
out 245 in 30 games. The 30 games were a career high and since
then, he’s been hampered with injuries. He hasn’t pitched in the
majors since 2006.
He is now rebuilding his career at age 30 as a reliever.
Millwood, who signed a minor league deal with the organization
in March, started for Double-A Trenton on Sunday and threw a
