Getting to know new Giant Jarrett Parker

He has fantastic hair

In the move that dominated the news cycle yesterday, the Giants called up Jarrett Parker from Sacramento to replace Gregor Blanco. Blanco got put on the 7-day concussion DL after being hit by a stray throw from Brandon Belt, who presumably called up Marco Scutaro immediately afterwards to yell "I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU!" But what kind of player is Jarrett Parker? Is he the next Mike Trout, except better? Probably! Let's take a look.

Jarrett Parker was drafted out of the University of Virginia in the second round in 2010, so he was personally endorsed by Thomas Jefferson.
