Jarrett Parker wakes up

Jarrett Parker still has the inside track on being the Giants' 4th or 5th outfielder and Wednesday he showed why. After a poor showing in previous spring games, Parker went 2-for-4 with a HR. He raised his average to .231. But as a lefty power bat who can play both corner outfield spots, he has a good track for a bench spot. The Giants could write off the 29-year-old, but as likely the oldest team in the major leagues on opening day, Parker fits right in.
