Professional career
Chicago White Sox
He was selected by the Chicago White Sox as the 18th overall pick in the first round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft.
New York Mets
In 2003, Ring was the key player acquired by the Mets with Edwin Almonte and Andrew Salvo in the trade that sent Roberto Alomar and cash to the White Sox. Ring’s performance suffered in the 2004 season and, for a time, he was no longer considered a top prospect. This was evidenced by the fact that the Mets left him unprotected in the Rule V Draft. Part of Ring’s problem was his nonchalant attitude about physical fitness, as he gained body fat during his career downturn. However, after a surprisingly strong spring training and minor league showing in 2005, Ring was added to the Mets’ Major League roster and made his Major League debut on April 29 against the Washington Nationals. He posted a disappointing 5.06 ERA before being demoted to the minor leagues later in the season. He was recalled to the big leagues on August 2, 2006, but was sent back to Norfolk three weeks later to make room on the 25-man roster for newly acquired Shawn Green.
