Dellin dealin’ bases on balls

The bad news: Mark Prior was scratched from his Gulf Coast League start with “shoulder discomfort. I had hopes that the Yanks would see him in September, but I think that dream is hanging on by a thread. The good news: Both Pedro Feliciano and Damaso Marte may throw in a GCL game on Thursday, but the odds of their returns this year are slim. On another note, thanks to RAB commenter mbonzo for help with Down on the Farm tonight. He did the vast majority of the heavy lifting.
