Bret Strelow of the Salisbury Post wrote this article on Bobby Parnell and his college baseball attitude and time as a corner infielder.
I like Parnell a lot. He was a very effective reliever and showed that he can hold his own in a couple of his starts (even though the rest were forgetful). After JJ Putz flopped, he was penciled in as the set-up man and showed he can be effective late into games. He has a great fastball that has the ability to dial up to 100 MPH, but I feel he needs to work on his second offerings. If he has a great changeup to go with that great fastball he could be lights-out with some more training.
Parnell had a great full first season and I look forward to watching what he can offer in 2010 after he has some great MLB experience. In Spring Training he'll fight for the set-up role along with Ryota Igarashi and Kelvim Escobar.
