Baseball is all about the numbers. Yes Pham is hot right now. Jay has never impressed me much, except in the field....and that can be bad at times. You can use him for now, but he doesn't make the playoff roster if Waino came pitch. Waino gets the 25th spot. Hell Socolovich might get the 25th spot if Waino isn't healthy. Greg Garcia can play the infield and pinch hit. Pham can't. We are loaded with outfielders.
Reynolds can DH, 1B, 3B, and the outfield
Piscotty can DH, 1B, and outfield
Moss can DH, 1B, oufield, and has played 3B
Adams would be a huge DH is he can't play the field in the WS.
Pham is too little too late. Ride him to the playoffs or until Grichuk, and Holliday can play the OF.....then he becomes a PH and gets a roster spot next spring to make a name for himself. Get rid of Jay to make a spot from Pham next spring. Ship Bourjos to the minors to find his swing or ship him out also.
Right now the Cards have depth in the outfield with a healthy Grichuk and Holliday, especially with Moss and Reynolds on the roster.
Pham isn't on the playoff roster unless one of the guys above can't play. I'll take Pham over Jay any damn day.
