Wed Aug 17 2011 | 15:06 | M's acquire Ruffin to complete Fister trade |
Mariners acquired RHP Chance Ruffin from the Tigers to complete last month's Doug Fister trade. |
Ruffin was a supplemental first-round pick last June and didn't sign with the Tigers until mid-August, so he was a "player to be named later" until now. The 22-year-old right-hander had a cup of coffee with the Tigers last month and has an impressive 2.03 ERA and 60 strikeouts over 48 2/3 innings in the minor leagues. He will join the Mariners' bullpen immediately. |

Tue Aug 2 2011 | 23:19 | M's to acquire Ruffin in Fister deal |
According to Jason A. Churchill of Prospect Insider, the Mariners will acquire right-hander Chance Ruffin from the Tigers as the player to be named later in the Doug Fister trade. |
The assumption was that the Mariners would either acquire Ruffin or left-hander Drew Smyly to complete the deal. Since Ruffin was selected in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, he cannot be a part of any trade until August 15. The 22-year-old right-hander has a 2.00 ERA over 40 relief appearances in the minors, averaging 11.4 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9. He made his major league debut last month and projects as a set-up man or closer in the long-term. |

Sun Jul 24 2011 | 19:56 | First rounder Ruffin headed to The Show? |
According to beat writer Chris Iott, the Tigers plan to call up 2010 supplemental first-round pick RHP Chance Ruffin. |
The former University of Texas star has certainly earned the promotion, posting a 2.09 ERA and 11.5 K/9 over 39 games across Double-A and Triple-A. He has the kind of stuff and mentality that a team looks for in a future closer. RHP Lester Oliveros is expected to be demoted to make room on the 25-man roster. |
