Prior and Maddux both had real promise before Tommy John Surgery.
Greg Maddux didn't succeed? Maybe not in the sense of World Series Rings (only one with Atlanta), but he had a hell of a career. 15+ wins for 17 consecutive seasons? 8th all-time on wins (355). First pitcher to win 4 consecutive Cy Youngs? 1 of 10 pitchers with 300 wins and 3000 Ks. Yeah, he didn't do anything.
