An update on Jarrod Parker

So how is Jarrod Parker doing after his Tommy John Surgery?

MLB TV presented their list of the top 50 prospects for 2010 and in somewhat of a surprise Parker was listed at number 21. While this is three spots lower than last year it is much higher than many predicted due to the surgery.

It is a testament of how far this surgery has come and the prognosis of full recovery. Parker will be working with the Diamondbacks training staff throughout 2010 building strength and flexibility so that he can hopefully fully recover and be ready for Spring Training in 2011.
