SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The uncertainty surrounding Jarrett Parker's professional future could cause him to feel ill. Instead, he remains chill.
Parker, San Francisco's Opening Day left fielder a year ago, is rarely mentioned in the speculation about the composition of the Giants' outfield. Rather than name him as a projected starter or as a candidate to earn a reserve role, the Giants traded for Andrew McCutchen, signed free agent Austin Jackson and clearly view rookies Chris Shaw and Steven Duggar as potential outfielders of the future.
Parker, who started in right field and went 0-for-4 in the Giants' 9-3 Cactus League triumph over the Dodgers, also could fret about being out of Minor League options.
