Dr. Trash working Double Duty

Orioles RP Greg Parrish, who was sent down to Double-A Bowie on June 13 towork on his control, will be sidelined for about a month because of astrained ligament in his left elbow, the Baltimore Sun reports. Ironically, the injury occurs just as his band Situation Tranquil begins awhirlwind world tour, and it has been suggested that Parrish - known as Dr.Trash to legions of ST faithful - has exaggerated the extent of the injuryto allow him to begin the tour. "That's %$&!#$ horses--t," Parrish blastedwhen confronted after the Baysox' game against New Britain, proceeding toshove two cameramen in a tirade that included throwing a camera to theground, kicking it and threatening to break more. He may face disciplinaryaction from Major League Baseball. Meanwhile, ST manager Joe T. Wright ishaving T-Shirts made from video of the incident, and plans to sell them for$60 apiece at the upcoming concerts.---SCOUTING REPORT... Parrish uses a 91-93 MPH fastball to keep hitters fromleaning over the plate. His offspeed pitch is average at best. His breakingball is sharp but inconsistent, but he can be deceptive because of a quickmotion to the plate. An inconsistent release point often plagues Parrish,and that can cause his command and control to desert him. Parrish is a goodathlete who fields his position well. He successfully covers first base ongrounders to the right side. His move to first is average.
