Tommy Pham is the new Jon Jay in 2016, St. Louis Cardinals fans. Circa 2011 Jon Jay is what I mean. Before he was a starter, Jay was a versatile bat off the bench. A lightning plug before he was given full duty due to trades and injuries. Pham can be that guy in 2016 and beyond, if he stays healthy. That seems to be the motto for the “older” Cardinals in 2016. “If they can stay healthy”, good things can happen.
Pham has endured a treacherous stretch in his professional career up to this point.
