2011 Bowman Chrome Prospects #BCP144 J.C. Ramirez

The 20th, and perhaps final, non-roster invitee almost slipped through The Phillies Room cracks.  With no announcement that I'm aware of, the Phils added righty J.C. Ramirez to the non-roster invitee list.  Ramirez was acquired (with Phillippe Aumont and Tyson Gillies) from the Mariners in December 2009 in exchange for Cliff Lee.  Ironically enough, all four players involved with that trade will be in camp this spring with the Phils.

Ramirez had been on the team's 40-man roster until they signed Chad Durbin.  He was designated for assignment and managed to clear waivers.  So Ramirez remained property of the team, and he was given an invitation to Spring Training to determine if he's more prospect than suspect.
