Dusty doesn't rank high in his pitcher-abuse numbers - he's astronimocal. Baseball Prospectus did a little research on this and when it comesto starters, Dusty Baker is public enemy number one. It's no coincidence that ever since Dusty came to town, *every single Cubs young starter has missed significant time each year due to arm trouble*. And yes, I blame him directly.
As a Cubs fan, I'd hate to see Prior leave, but honestly, if it means getting away from Dusty and having a chance to pitch under decent circumstances and establish a career, I'm all for it. It doesn't look like Cubs brass is ever going to see through the Dusty facade, so he's gonna be here for the long term.
