Parmelee through
oops.
Parmelee through 10 games: .357/.372/.548
The 10:1 SO:BB ratio isn't so good, but that seems to be what we're going to get from him.
Man, Adam Dunn still manages 2:1 or better.
I was at the Rock Cats game. The only question about Joe Benson's triple was if it was going to be an inside the park HR if the RF misplayed it at all. His single was of the infield variety with the SS doing his best Jeter impression. The kid is fast! I noticed the defense played him the opposite way (correctly) later in the game. Not sure if they did it earlier though. Seemed a little odd.
