Former NL All-Star Mark Prior is trying to make another comeback.

Prior signed with the Orange County Flyers of the independent Golden Baseball League and was in uniform on Tuesday.

Prior's five-year major league career with the Chicago Cubs ended in 2006. The 29-year-old right-hander had a 42-29 record and a 3.51 ERA in 106 starts. He made the All-Star team in 2003, when he was 18-6.

He had shoulder surgery and missed the 2007 season, and a shoulder tear forced him to miss the next season. Prior spent last year in the minors with his hometown San Diego Padres.

Flyers manager Paul Abbott says Prior will be a setup man. Prior says he wants to pitch in competitive games and see where it takes him.
