The Phillies traded Carlos Ruiz to the Dodgers yesterday, in connection with which the club promoted catcher Jorge Alfaro, not to AAA for the first time in his career, but straight to the bigs.

Maybe he’ll get the chance to catch Adam Morgan in New York tonight.

Maybe he’ll catch Jake Thompson, whom he’d caught in Frisco with the Rangers, back in Philadelphia on Monday.

Or Jerad Eickhoff, whom he’d caught in Spokane and in Hickory and in Myrtle Beach and in Frisco with the Rangers, on Tuesday.

Thompson has had a tremendous season, going 11-5, 2.
