I really think if Harden added bout 15-20 lbs he'd be less likely to be injured. It looks like he has like 3-5% body fat. I mean he just produces so much velocity from his small frame. It could help a lot of other guys as well.
Wait a minute. If Wood's not going to be considered elite, then neither can Prior. Prior's only had one good year. Wood had 3-4 good years, depending on if you want to consider his rookie season. At what point do we separate hype and reality?

When Wood gets 3 years younger I'll call him elite again. Prior is still only 26, and a lot of guys have breakout years at 27. There's still plenty of hope for his career. Wood seems to be over the hill already. People want him to be a closer in the future because he can't last 60 pitches.

I think I read something on him that said he does have barely any body fat. Also went on to say that he works out a lot to keep in great shape. It probably wouldn't hurt him if he added a few, but if it effected his delivery then I'm not sure.

Where are the Bob Gibson's of the world? He would pitch without an arm.

OK, so then why are you considering Prior as an elite pitcher if you're still holding out hope that he one day can break out. The more I think about this, the more I'm of the belief that neither of these guys are close to elite.

He's already broken out. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. My point is he's not even at the age of typical breakout, so there's still a good chance of a bright career.

Bob Gibson is probably the best pitcher I've ever seen, one tough sumbuck.
I just posted these stats in another area, then I saw your post so why not throw 'em out again:
1968-1972 100 wins 53 losses 122 CG's.
Neither Wood, Prior, or Harden can be considered anything close to elite.
Halladay, Pedro, Zambrano, Carpenter, Moose, Schill, Cytana are elite.
Liriano , Verlander, Weaver on the brink.
