Happy (early) Birthday Wilmer Flores!! Flores, born on August 6, is on his way to New York!!
— New York Mets (@Mets) August 6, 2013
Welcome to the show, Wilmer Flores! The Mets thought they could get this news by us at night, huh…? Nope! I feel pretty excited about this. Wilmer Flores was having a great year in Triple-A with .322/.358/.532 slash. He ripped 36 doubles, four triples, and 15 home runs while driving in 86 runs. His monster year is about to continue with the Mets, where he looks to make a big splash…good luck!
LA TORTUGA
Now that is a GREAT birthday present . Hope to see Flores in a Met uniform for a long time.
Now what are the chances he plays today vs Collins playing his “veterans”?
