8. DARRELL RASNER, rhp Age: 24 B-T: R-R Ht: 6-3 Wt: 210 Drafted: Nevada, 2002 (2nd round) Signed by: Keith Snider Background: As did Ryan Church, Rasner starred at Nevada, where he set records for career wins, strikeouts and innings. Minor shoulder tendinitis slowed him in 2003, his first full pro season, but he remained healthy in 2004 and turned a corner down the stretch. He allowed more than one earned run just once in his final 11 starts and did his best pitching yet in Double-A. Strengths: Rasner has good control and induces plenty of grounders with his heavy 91-94 mph sinker. He commanded his solid-average curveball much better in 2004 than he had in the past. Weaknesses: Rasner's circle changeup still needs plenty of work, and his curve could use more refinement. He lacks a true strikeout pitch and though he旧 around the plate with his pitches, he has been too hittable. The Future: Now that he is healthy, Rasner should advance rapidly through the system. He should return to Double-A to start 2005 and is line for a big league callup toward the end of the year. He doesn't offer a high ceiling but could become a solid fourth starter. --
