Will the Real Manny Parra Please Stand Up?

The Brewers announced today that they avoided arbitration with Manny Parra by settling on a one year contract. Many of you are probably thinking, "oh yeah I forgot about Parra." I had thought the same thing as he was no where near the brewers at all this past season. This was mainly due to and elbow and back injury that derailed him the whole season. But he will be back in good health hopefully for the 2012 season. Since Parra debuted with the Brewers in 2007, he hasn't had much success and many fans, including me at sometimes, have wanted the Brewers to give him the hook or trade him. Truth be told though, Parra was a stud in the minors and I would really like to see a bounce back season from him. He has a great arsenal of pitches but he never can seem to harness those pitches which is why he has dealt with high ERA's. He seems to pitche a great 5 1/3 innings then either loses total command or loses total confidence after giving up a few runs or hits. He really needs to keep his confidence out there on the mound. I would like to see the top prospect form that he once had make a comeback. In 2 seasons at A ball he compiled a 2.69 era in 140 innings. Then at 4 AA seasons he compiled a 3.39 era in 209 innings. Finally in 3 seasons at AAA he compiled a 2.95 era in 60 innings. His era's in his minor seasons are pretty solid. If he makes a return to the brewers this upcoming season he will probably be used out of the bullpen where he's had his most success. I really hope he ends up returning to form and putting together a nice season.
