As we’ve moved through our TBOH ranking for 2016, the Cole Hamels deal with the Texas Rangers at last season’s trade deadline has already reared its head twice on the countdown.
A few days back we covered catcher Jorge Alfaro, who finished in the #6 position on our list. Just yesterday it was Jake Thompson, the Phillies top pitching prospect, who finished in the #2 spot in our rankings .
Each of those players came over in the Hamels deal, and now we find still another player received as part of the bounty from that trade in outfielder Nick Williams.
