Rather then cycle through different threads for the professionals I thought we could just put them all here. As of right now there is 3 former Jackrabbits playing affiliated baseball.
Caleb Thielbar
Majors
Minnesota Twins
Blake Treinen
AAA-Syracuse
Washington Nationals
Layne Somsen
Low-A-Dayton
Cincinnati Reds
Thielbar- after some so-so outings, and a W, he had a solid 2 inning, no hits, 3 K appearance yesterday. Contrary to popular belief that he would start the season in AAA, not only did he make the club, but has pitched quite often for the Twins so far this season.
Treinen- After an eye opening spring training, where most scouts, and National beat writers believed he would have made the team if he had been on the 40 man roster, he made his AAA debut, going 5 innings 2 un-earned runs, scouts reported him hitting 97-98 most of the game, only through about 70 pitches as they are stretching him out after using him as a reliever in spring training
Somsen- Has appeared in 2 outings for Dayton, going 2 innings, with 4K's and 1BB.
If there are any other former Rabbits playing independent ball or in Japan, or wherever feel free to post updates about it. hopefully a few more get drafted this year. milb.com is a really good site to keep updated stats on Treinen and Somsen.
