Worst mailbag ever

Question:
The Yankees say they want pitching, so why not get Mark Prior? He's only 28, and a healthy Prior is a Cy Young contender.
-- Mandeep S., Jamaica, N.Y.


Um, whoa, "Mandeep" from Jamaica, NY. Prior hasn't been healthy since 2005 and didn't throw a single Major League pitch in 2007 and 2008. Yet, no worries, he'll still be in Cy Young shape.

Question:
If Jorge Posada goes down again to injury, could they use Jesus Montero as a backup?
-- Kenny S., Greece, N.Y.


Okay, I should cut some people some slack since most don't follow the Minors, but this is a literally retarded question. Montero isn't even 20 and has yet to play a game in high A, yet this person is ready to pencil him as Posada's 2009 backup- even though Jose Molina, defensive wizard, is under contract for 2009. Just the fact he knows who Montero is and what position he plays means he knows something, so I will show no mercy in this dojo. Kenny, you sir, are a disgrace to baseball intellectuality.
