Jarrod Parker
Parker is going to join the team after his second Tommy John surgery in 2015 and the recovery from a second TJ is much less positive than the first but many players have recovered fine and maintained strong careers. At $900,000, Parker is hardly a high risk paycheck for the A’s and I expect to see him pitching in the green and gold for at least one more season, if not his three remaining seasons under team control.
