Nick Piecoro is flat out killing it on his blog lately. You want information on just about every Silver Hawks player that is in the desert right now? His blog is the place to go: http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/NickPiecoro/Page0
He has thoughts on Keon Broxton, David Nick, Chris Owings, Bobby Borchering, and Tyler Skaggs from the 2010 club, not to mention former Silver Hawks Jarrod Parker and Brandon Webb.
I like Jarrod Parker, I enjoyed watching him in South Bend, talking to his parents in the stand at home and on the road. I am hopeful that his arm stays healthy and I hope his skills get him to the major league.
ReplyDeleteIt just seems odd to me after being out of action for the past year and a half that there would be any expectation for Parker to make the team out of Spring Training much less mid season. I'd probably start him off at the Triple-A level and work at strengthening the arm. If he does well, bring him up in September and give him some MLB experience. I think 2012 is probably a more appropriate timetable.
