LF Clyde Parker (#148 Overall)
Acquired: Via Draft: 7th Round, 103rd Overall (1945)
AAA: .255/.368/.383 (96 OPS+), 57 PA, 2B, 3B, HR, 7 RBI
AA: .323/.395/.476 (129 OPS+), 418 PA, 28 2B, 3B, 9 HR, 55 RBI, 2 SB
CWL: .394/.545/.576 (183 OPS+), 44 PA, 2B, 3B, HR, 6 RBI, 2 SB

Very little went right for the Stallions, who dropped each of their last three, but Clyde Parker was not among the culprits. The 23-year-old kept up his great start, hitting an even 5-for-10 with three runs scored. The former 7th Rounder is now hitting an impressive .394/.545/.576 (183 OPS+) and a 11-to-2 walk-to-strikeout ratio has fueled his 204 WRC+. Parker also has one of each extra base hits, 9 runs, 6 RBIs, and even a pair of steals, as he's started every game in left field for Santa Clara. It's nice to see him off to such a nice start, but after a strong year in Mobile it's not all that surprising. He made 102 of his 121 appearances there, hitting a productive .323/.395/.476 (129 OPS+) with 28 doubles, 9 homers, and 55 RBIs. He's always been a disciplined hitter, keeping his walks up and strikeouts low, but with the Commodores he came close to equal walks (41) and strikeouts (45). That's a huge skill when you're already hitting over .300, as the lefty swinger has an excellent contact tool. You can't expect too much from him in the field, but he makes up for it at the plate. He's a good table setter who can get on base, and while there's not much speed, he's a good base runner. I like to think of him as a potential Leo Mitchell lite, just without the strikeouts, but he's not ready to contribute yet. On Opening Day we'll burn his first of three options, but if he hits and someone in the lineup isn't, there's a chance he'll make his debut sometime next season.
