Could Bobby Parnell Emerge As the Setup Man?

Last night, Mets reliever Bobby Parnell picked up his first save since 2013. He was thrown right into the fire in the 8th inning and wound up getting a 5 out save. This is a huge step forward for Parnell since he had just come off Tommy John Surgery. His velocity is not quite there yet, but he has a sharp knuckle curve to keep hitters off balanced. I think that Parnell will only continue to get better. The Mets are counting on him to be the set up man to Jeurys Familia since Vic Black is most likely not coming back anytime soon. I think that Parnell is more than up for the challenge.
