Jarrod Parker, Athletics Avoid Arbitration

By charliewilmoth | December 19, 2015 at 1:25pm CDT

Jarrod Parker has avoided arbitration with the Athletics, CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman tweets. Parker will receive $850K for 2016, of which $425K is guaranteed. Parker is a client of Reynolds Sports Management.

MLBTR projected Parker would receive precisely $850K, which is also the same amount he made last season after his first trip through the arbitration process. Parker appeared to be one of the game’s better young starting pitchers after posting a 3.68 ERA, 6.4 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 384 big-league innings through 2013. But he has not appeared in the big leagues in the past two years, as he had the second Tommy John surgery of his career early in 2014 and then fractured the elbow and had yet another operation (although, perhaps mercifully, not another of the Tommy John variety) last season. Now 27, he will attempt to get his career back on track in 2016.

    If Parker comes back healthy.

    Gray / Alvarez / Parker / Hahn / Graveman

    Isn’t that bad of a rotation.

      Bassitt and Hill don’t exist in your world?

        Alvarez a #2?! Shoulder surgery in July and won’t be back until midseason. contact pitcher to a bad D. Most NL pitchers that move to AL regress. Delusional

        You’re right, that’s kind of awful. However:

        Gray
        Kazmir, Gallardo, Maeda, or a traded-for SP
        Hill
        Bassit

        and then spot guys like Graveman, Manaea or even Nolin until Alvarez is ready, is a rotation that could turn the A’s into contenders, especially with the bullpen revamped and potentially even adding another piece there.

        But after Gray, the floor is very bad. Hahn and Parker should be counted on for very few (if any) innings. Hahn might be available later in the year but still, I’d hope they would sign Cliff Lee too, because he is way more of a known quantity than their supposed “depth guys”, none of who outside of Manaea looks to have totally set the minors on fire.

        Outside the box idea that would get everyone’s attention: get all of Lee, Kazmir and Gallardo so its: Gray-Lee-Kazmir-Gallardo-Hill. The AAA rotation would be Bassit-Graveman-Brooks-Parker-Manaea with interesting options like Overton and Alcantara potentially rising quickly too.

          I feel like people are counting this starting pitching staff out for no reason, when last year the bullpen was the main problem.

    How is it possible that only half is guaranteed?

    For some reason, I always get him mixed up with Jarret Cosart and Jacob Turner. All start with J and are once top prospects.
