Ya right.......in the last 5 years it really shows the front office know what they are doing. Does a player from JAPAN ring a bell!

I agree. The minor leagues are for learning to be a better player. Which he has advanced at every level. I think if he get traded, he will be just like the other players the head office let go to another team and excell such as "Big Poppy, AJ and Ramos. Unless he plays up there, we wil never really know. The season is a wash now anyway. Rest the veterans and let the rest play. We need OFFENSE!!!

Right now Parmelee is the best hitter in the International League. So by your blinded standards of Parmelee being a "C" player the rest of the league is full of F- players. Parmelee is the best hitter in the Twins ML system. Sounds like your a Parmelee hatter to me.

Parmelee may not be your "Quintessentiial" outfielder, but has spent alot of time in the outfield over the years. There have been many players that have not really fit that roll over the years, but to get there bats in the lineup, that's were they played. Young is a resent example of that, and I believe my little sister could play the outfield better than Young. As I believe Parmelee would have been better than Young as well. It would have been intersting to see how Parmelee would have done moving up while he is hot.

Parmelee worked with Bruno last year in New Britain and this year in Rochester. Alot of the hitters there are doing better under his instrution as well. Hopfully Bruno will get the hitting instrutors job next year in Minnisota. But as well as Parmelee is hitting (which is better than anyone in the International League) it did not earn him a promotion back to the Bigs. News has it that Carson was promoted last night. So much for a player earning his way back up. I've read other posts about Parmelee maybe filling in, in the outfield as well as DH and 1st to keep him hitting every day. If there was ever a chance that this might happen, this was it. I feel bad for a player that takes a step back and moves 8 steps forward (as Seth said in his post) works hard and gets dist for his efforts. It's no wonder our team is in the shape it's in today.
