Chris Parmelee went 2-for-5 and homered Monday in the loss to the Yankees. With a .368 average and a 5/5 K/BB ratio in 38 at-bats, Parmelee has been a very nice surprise to date. The former first-round pick is still a long shot to begin next season in the majors, but he could be nice insurance if Justin Morneau continues to have problems.
