Prior On Schedule

Mark Prior (shoulder) is doing everything the other pitchers are doing so far, including throwing 25 pitches to hitters Thursday, the Cubs' Web Site reports.

"It's good to see somebody in there," Prior said of facing hitters. "You get a read on what your pitches are doing, the way they're hitting them. For me, it reaffirms that you can throw 25 pitches -- and I threw 19 relatively around the plate -- and they hit some good, and they didn't hit some good. You don't always have to be perfect." It's still far from clear whether Prior will be able to pitch at the start of the season.
