Brewers deal Hall to Mariners

by Bill Scott on August 19, 2009

in Sports

Apparently the Brewers didn’t want a high salaried starting pitcher in exchange for infielder Bill Hall, so Milwaukee sent Hall to Seattle for minor league RHP Ruben Flores.

The 25 year old Flores was a 12th round pick in the 2003 First Year Player Draft.  Flores is currently with Class-A High Desert of the California League where he is 1-0 with a 13.06 ERA (15 er/10.1 ip) in eight relief appearances.  He began the season with Class-A Clinton of the Midwest League.  Between the two teams this season, Flores is 3-2 with a 4.39 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 44 relief appearances.

Flores will be assigned to the Brevard County Manatees of the Florida State League.
