No.

Steve Stone has said that it appeared there was something wrong with them.

There is some concern that it is the stretch delivery that causes Mark troubles.

Dr. Mike Marshall has insisted that Prior's mechanics are a problem. Of course, he also said that Larry Rothschild and Tom House probably didn't know what muscles even formed the rotator cuff

Of course, for every person that believes Prior has a problem - even a small one - there are those who insist that his mechanics are "picture perfect" and as refined as any pitcher, ever. Maybe they were. Maybe they still are. I honestly don't know.

Maybe Prior's problem is not mechanical...then again, perhaps there is an underlying mechanical quirk. We'll see eventually.
