Jarrod Parker on the road back to recovery...

Diamondbacks pitching prospect Jarrod Parker (elbow) has received clearance to begin a throwing program.
"They did all the tests and everything, and it went really well," Parker said. "The full range of motion is back and almost better than it was before surgery. They tested it for strength, and they were happy with that." Parker, 20, will miss all of 2010. A top prospect and former first-round pick, Parker underwent Tommy John elbow surgery in October. The right-hander posted a 3.14 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 97 1/3 total innings last season between two different minor league levels.

The skill set is there and his cards are cheap enough. Good investment here.

Different dude.

Blade is actually the guy I sold his 2007 BDP Superfractor to. (Show it off.)

Wonder if Parker will get to throw a pitch this year after all.
