The irony is when he was coming up through the minors, Caridad was known a guy with good control. In 19.1 innings last year when he got called up he only walked 3 guys.
Stevens, on the other hand, has been known as a guy who can't throw strikes.

Yeah I don't get it. Is it a confidence thing?

Could be. He could actually have a legitimate injury for all we know.
I don't think it's a huge deal that Stevens is getting the call before Parker. They've both been pitching well at AAA and it might be even advantageous seeing as Stevens has a little bit of major league experience. Also, Parker is not exactly a pin point accuracy type. They both are very good strikeout pitchers but just struggle to keep the walks down.
