Ugh...not the news you wanted to hear if you're a Diamondbacks fan. Former Silver Hawks pitcher and future star Jarrod Parker is going to have Tommy John surgery later this month, the Diamondbacks announced yesterday.
Tommy John surgery is so commonplace these days, that not too many people think twice about it. He'll miss the 2010 season of course, and hopefully should be ready to go by 2011. Parker is only 20 years old, so he still has plenty of time to be a star in the majors. However, we can't overlook the fact that this is still surgery on a youngster, and the Diamondbacks plans of having him as a major part of their rotation in 2010 is not going to happen.
