Prior pain free after 31 pitches in first workout

Mark Prior didn't experience any pain in his surgically repaired right shoulder during his first spring training workout with the San Diego Padres. Prior, an 18-game winner with the Chicago Cubs in 2003, hasn't pitched in the major leagues since Aug. 10, 2006. The right-hander had shoulder surgery last season and isn't expected back until mid-May or possibly June. (link)
