With Angel Pagan on the disabled list, Gregor Blanco is the next man up to play left field for the San Francisco Giants. We know what Blanco offers—excellent defense and a poor man’s Pagan at the plate. That’s nice for a fourth outfielder. But to start every day? This would appear to be a great time to get Jarrett Parker a bundle of at-bats, especially in Colorado’s thin air, where curve balls don’t break as hard and fly balls don’t stay in the yard.
Parker started the season at Triple-A Sacramento about as cold as a hitter could be.
