Chris Flores is a starting pitcher who was drafted in the fifth round of the amateur draft during the 2008 season, the Mets liked his 3 pitch repatoir but have been working with him to add a Change Up. The Red Sox are willing to continue the work started by the Mets pitching staff. He will be placed in the AAA rotation replacing the struggling Mike Prochaska.
Jorge Ramirez is a shortstop who came out of the same draft as Flores. Ramirez is 19 years old and therefore still pretty raw. He was taken by the Mets in the 7th round. Ramirez has shown limited power from the right side of the plate with 9 home runs. Ramirez has been praised for his contact and ability to get on base. Due to Ramirez's age it will be a good few years before he has the chance to grace a major league field. Ramirez has a sub par glove and his footwork is poor to say the least.
The Red Sox had to make addition internal moves to fill out the vacant spot on the ML roster. Zach Daeges has been called up to the ML squad, he will take the spot of the now departed Manny Ramirez but will more than likely be a utility player and come off the bench for the most part of the season barring any more injury problems for the Red Sox.
The big prospect in this trade will be given the LF spot in the AAA affiliate Pawtucket Red Sox.
