Our Ranking the Rockies series continues. Kyle Parker comes in at No. 50.
Kyle Parker’s time with the Rockies in 2015 went terribly. That’s not really in dispute. In 112 plate appearances over 46 games, Parker it an anemically anemic .179/.223/.311. The Rockies had four players with at least as many plate appearances as Parker with slugging percentages higher than Parker’s OPS. He ended the season with a wRC+ of 26, which was better than only Pete Kozma among players with at least 110 plate appearances in the National League. It was not just a bad season relative to other Rockies players; Parker would also be near the bottom of a Ranking Players Who Got Reasonable Playing Time list.
