even though I agree with you that Bridwell's pheripherals and past performance indicate last year will never happen again, the fact of the matter is that Parker did have a good year for us last year. The idea that he wouldn't get a start or first crack once someone hit the DL is incredibly arrogant. The same mindset of Ohtani is a bust after 3 ST innings, after 3 games in the ML - "I knew he was going to do this all along!".
