Parker promoted to Double-A

Jarrod Parker pitched a ho-hum Double-A debut on Saturday for the Mobile BayBears. The Arizona farmhand, considered one of the top prospects in baseball, wasn't expected to make the majors this year. With Brandon Webb on the DL, however, and the Diamondbacks struggling to compete, a mid- to late-season call-up is not out of the question.

Fantasy Impact: Stash the young man on your watch list. He's exciting, although he's probably a year or year-and-a-half away from making a significant impact.
