I do. And I think Parker > Cahill too. @RyanRCCarpenter: Do you agree that
Gio > Cahill? OAK seems to value it that way... #Athletics

Jarrod Parker, rhp

Signed for $2.1 million as the ninth overall pick in the 2007 draft, Parker
ranked No. 1 on the Diamondbacks prospect list for three years. He made a
strong comeback after missing 2010 following Tommy John surgery, especially
in the second half when he regained his command and added an effective
two-seam fastball. He made his major league debut in late September and
earned a spot on the postseason roster. Parker has streamlined mechanics that
allow him to get excellent velocity out of a smaller frame. He usually works
in the mid-90s and has reached 100 mph with his four-seam fastball, and he
operates in the low 90s with good sink on his two-seamer. He gets swings and
misses with a slider and a changeup that he throws in the 81-86 mph range.
His slider rated as a well above-average offering before he got hurt, though
it's more of a plus pitch now. Parker also mixes in an average curveball. His
easy delivery returned after his elbow reconstruction and scouts noticed a
more mature pitcher on the mound. (Bill Mitchell)

Ryan Cook, rhp


Cook never posted a sub-5.00 ERA in three seasons at Southern California, but
he showed enough promise for the Diamondbacks to ante up an $80,000 bonus
after they took him in the 27th round of the 2008 draft. He had middling
success as a starter in the lower minors before shifting to the bullpen and
zooming from Double-A to the majors last season. As is the case with most
pitchers, Cook showed better stuff in shorter stints, though no one expected
it to jump as much as it did. He worked with an 89-93 mph fastball as a
starter and suddenly had a consistent 95-97 mph heater as a reliever, topping
out at 101. His fastball has riding four-seam life. Cook can miss bats with a
hard splitter that he throws at 88-91 mph. He also has an 85-88 mph slider
with more lateral movement than depth. He can throw the slider for strikes
but doesn't always locate it well within the strike zone. Improved command is
Cook's biggest need, and he got into trouble during his time in Arizona
because he fell behind in the count too often. His eventual ceiling is as a
set-up man. (Bill Mitchell)


光Parker很可能就比Cahill好了，還附帶一隻火球中繼 (and四號外野)
這交易比恩應該是不會虧啦
