A few quick facts (and one though) about the Dustin Ackley trade

The Yankees acquired utility man Dustin Ackley from the Mariners in exchange for Ramon Flores and Jose Ramirez, the club announced Thursday afternoon. The former second baseman and current outfielder has hit only.215/.270/.366 this season, which is actually horribly similar to his.225/.282/.335 batting line at last year’s deadline. Yankees starting second baseman Stephen Drew has hit.

If the Yankees are looking for a solution at second base, Dustin Ackley is not the answer.

In 32 games, 21 starts, at Triple-A, Ramirez has a 2.90 ERA with 56 strikeouts and 23 walks in 49 2/3 innings.

Flores, a 23-year-old Triple A outfielder, hit. 215 with six home runs and 19 RBIs in 85 games with the Mariners this season. Baseball America considered him the 26th best prospect in the Yankees’ system coming into 2015.

The New York Yankees have been quiet this week as the trade deadline approaches. Seems safe to assume the Yankees like Ackley’s power bat as a solid fit for Yankee Stadium, and I’m sure they value his versatility, but it’s hard to know exactly where Ackley will play. 243 with 42 career home runs and 201 RBI. They squashed a potential deal last year when they turned down a Bryan Mitchell for Ackley trade that the Mariners suggested.

The No. 2 overall Major League Baseball Draft pick in 2009, Ackley is arbitration eligible the next two years and set to be a free agent in 2018. In 12 games with New York this season, Flores is batting. Ramirez, on the other hand, has failed to impress the Yankees over the past two seasons: in 11 major league appearances, he has pitched to a 7.62 ERA.
