Is Rasner the 3rd guy the Sox got in the McCarthy/Danks deal?

He's still pretty young, and his numbers look so/so. Does he project to anything, or is he pretty much going to be a career minor leaguer?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, he's the third guy they got in that trade. The Sox were high on his prospects at the time and I would think they still like the path he is on.

I have not seen him pitch, but he is young (21) and big (6'4"") and his numbers have improved each year. Last year in Kanny, he was 7-11 with an ERA of 6.83. Moving up to AA this year, he is 4-6 with an ERA of 3.69.

He still needs to work on his control; he averages a walk every two innings. Rasner, cousin of pitcher Darrell Rasner, has been used as both a starter and reliever, and in following his progress this year, it appears to me he is is better out of the pen right now.

If anyone has seen him pitch, please let us know what he throws and how he looks on the mound.
