Kyle Parker broke his hand on a HBP in the second game of the season in the CAL
April .500/.600/.500 1.100 OPS
May .236/.295/.403 .698OPS
June .298/.445/.500 .945OPS
July .378/.473/.622 1.095OPS
August .284/.392/.661 1.053OPS

in sixty seven second half games he hit .326/.431/.628 with 19HR so while it isn’t proof that certainly looks like someone recovering from an injury.

Tomcat,

I was asked the question about Parker because I’ve seen him multiple times. CAL numbers for college draft picks are insignificant to me. In my time doing this, they have been about as valuable as toilet paper on the whole. I think it was in a chat last off-season where I mentioned I would not be surprised if Kyle Parker hit 40 HR in the CAL. I was expecting a monster year and my feelings about him were mixed.
