A local article prior to the draft:
George Washington senior shortstop Michael Parker (Newton, MA/Newton South) has been named to the Louisville Slugger All-American third-team, it was announced on Wednesday by Collegiate Baseball.
The teams were chosen based on performances up to the regional playoffs and picked by the staff of the Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
Parker, a member of the 2007 Atlantic 10 All-Conference first-team, batted .373 with 60 RBI, 22 doubles and 10 home runs. Overall, he ranked in the league's top-five in eight separate offensive categories. In his last season at GW, he finished first on the team in slugging percentage (.604), on-base percentage (.434) and hits (84) and was second in home runs.
Parker was selected as conference Player of the Week on April 23, for a four-game stretch in which he recorded at least one hit, one RBI and one run scored in all four games, and had two four-hit performances. The team's 2007 MVP finished his four-year career ranked seventh all-time at GW with 47 doubles and 10th with 43 stolen bases.
George Washington was 23-31-1 overall in 2007 and 14-13 in the A-10, finishing just one spot out of the conference tournament, despite ending the year with a season-best six-game winning streak. It was their 14th straight season with at least 20 wins.
The Mets drafted Parker in the 4th round of the 2007 draft. He played the 2007 season for Kingsport, where he went .298/.367/.433 in 141 at bats, and ended it wit Brooklyn (no games played).
Parker played the majority of the 2008 season for Savannah, but also gota couple of licks in for Brooklyn. His combined stats were disappointing: .190 in 226 at bats.
