WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!

This is not good. Our best prospect getting Tommy John surgery! This is like if Sam Bradford will be a good NFL QB with his shoulder injuries. Will Jarrod Parker be the pitcher he is supposed to be?

Most guys come back 100% from this now. I think Tim Hudson (ATL) is the most recent example.

But what it DOES mean is this:

He won't pitch AT ALL in 2010.

He likely won't pitch until MID-2011. And even then, it is likely at the minor league level.

So no Jarrod Parker until 2012.

DBAX"2012" for a reason. THIS TEAM WILL 'EAT IT' until the distant year, 2012. 2 more FULL seasons of stink, 'led' by AJ Pinch and his band of 'Not Ready for Prime Time Players.'

Now you've definitely got to fill OVER SIX HUNDRED STARTING PITCHER INNINGS next year for the 3-4-5 slots.

Happiest guy at this news? Probably DOUG DAVIS. Because it means JB will have to kneel in front of him and .... PAY HIM to come back and 'eat innings'...
