Wow, this thread is pretty stale. Jacob was a surprise pick by the Sox to play in the AFL this year. He looked a bit overmatched though. Here are his numbers there:

 

6 G, 6.2 IP

9.45 ERA

2.85 WHIP

.433 AvgA

13 H

6 BB

4 K

 

The only good news is, he finished on a higher note - his last three appearances, he pitched 4.1 scoreless innings. But even in those games, he gave up 4 hits and 5 walks, which is far too high a rate.

 

Rasner turns 23 this Friday, and will be 23 in his 2010 season. Drafted in 2005, has 5 years of minor league play under his belt, and he MAY be a minor league free agent (not sure on that). All this, and he hasn't pitched above High A, where he put up two seasons of not-great numbers for Winston-Salem. Seems like the organization was using the AFL as a make or break viewing of Rasner. He's got a serious uphill climb at this point if he wants to pitch in the majors.

 

Here's some shots of Rasner this year, now pitching for the Barons.

 

 

 

 

Jeez, he's got the MacDougal head jerk thing going on there. He's looking off at the first base dugout near his release point.

 

Rasner taken via Rule V, he's no longer with the Sox organization. Closing AAP.
