Jarrod Parker, Tommy John?

[Ryanwb]

Heard on the radio that Jarrod Parket might have to undergo Tommy John surgery. They are still examining his elbow and won't know for another week or so the extent of the damage.... sucks because they said hit fastball his 99 MPH during his last start. Of course, TJ recovery has been historically known to add a few MPH to fastballs, but the recovery is 1 - 1.5 years

2010 doesn't seem much brighter

They also discussed the fact that another pitcher we have in the minors decided to go the rest route and is doing quite well. His name escapes me now but I will try to remember it. Regardless, looking like the dream rotation of Webb/Haren/Max/Parker/anyone is looking more and more like a real dream.

Some encouraging news regarding Parker, hope it doesn't turn into a Webb case. D'Backs on verge of signing one of the supplemental picks but Borchering talks are not progressing, not good with only a week and a half until the deadline. It also looks like we won't sign Schuster (the kid with 3 consecutive no hitters) or Matt Helm ( U of A commit who had an injury plagued senior year) due to contract demands being to high.
