Tommy Pham is gone; Viva Tommy Pham! There will be more to follow on this trade for sure. For now, know that Roel Ramirez is a twenty-three-year-old right-handed pitcher in AA, Genesis Cabrera has a great name, is almost twenty-two, is left-handed, and is a pitcher in AA, and Justin Williams, the most interesting of the three to this author, is an almost-twenty-three-year-old outfielder that recently made his major-league debut. Please note that none of these fellas are Chris Archer.
