Prior goes on 60-day DL, Padres call it a "step forward."

I could be wrong, but wasnt that the idea anyway. I could have sworn when they signed him it was said he might be ready by the all star break.

I thought the same thing.

I heard they expect him back late May/Early June.

[veeter]

Yes. Prior actually had surgery this off-season and is re-habbing. The 60day DL was expected. He still could get 20 starts or so.

[Jerko]

Someone tell him NOT to agree to any autograph signings 59 days from now.

This is why the Cubs didn't tender him a contract.
