He's still sporting a bloated 6.04 ERA and 1.70 WHIP, as well as an unimpressive 35:24 K:BB over 47.2 innings, so with a start in Texas next week, it's going to be difficult for him to build off this recent momentum.","date":"Sat May 18"},"fullName":"Jarrod Parker","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Cherry-picking splits can be dangerous, but the drop in walks by Parker in the second half of last season is intriguing considering control is the last thing to come around following Tommy John surgery. Parker had the procedure in October 2009, so perhaps his strong finish is an indication that he's back on track to show why he was 2007's ninth overall pick. Parker's strikeout rate is league average with potential to improve, but if he maintains the control gains, Parker has a good chance to come close to -- if not surpass -- last season's numbers.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.2,"playerRater15DAY":2.2,"positionRank":176}
