After his ho hum 2024, I couldn't believe the Pirates gave him a major league contract worth 2.5mil. Follwing Tommy Pham, I knew he was only about 16 hit away from 1000. So I thought, that's cool. Tommy will get his 1000th hit. But following him early on, I started to think that wasn't a forgone conclusion. He struggled hard early on to where I thought if I saw a "Pirates DFA Pham" I wouldn't be surprised.
But look at his regurgence below. He might very well get traded to his 11th team...
PHAM MARCH: 2/17, .387 OPS
PHAM APRIL: 14/77, 477 OPS
END OF APRIL: .460 OPS
PHAM MAY: 293 BA /.356 OBP / 293 SLUG / .649 OPS
END OF MAY: .207 BA / .280 OBP / .237 SLUG / .517 OPS
PHAM JUNE: .302 BA / .372 OBP /.488 SLUG / .861 OPS
END OF JUNE: .230 BA / .303 OBP / .298 SLUG / 601 OPS
PHAM JULY: .388 BA / .446 OBP / .597 SLUG / 1.043 OPS
PHAM NOW: .273 BA / .342 OBP / .722 OPS
He's killing it. I hope he goes to a contender with the opportunity of getting a ring.
Bad actor, Ecleme.

He grew up in a very bad area of Las Vegas. Fighting was normal. He’s never moved on from that.

And yet he’s had more success than anyone on this forum. Sounds like a great story to me, but don’t let us stop you from virtue signaling on an anonymous Internet forum.

It’s not really a Pham thread until Cranny tell us how to think.

I don't know if this thread is about Pham anymore but Tommy can stick it somewhere. The guy hits a grand slam in his first AB as a returning Cardinal and then ... nada nada nada. Was worthless, unless, of course, he's playing for a different team and facing the Cardinals, at which point he returns to All-Star form.

I remember back in the 90s when some old players had a resurgence. You don't hear about that too often now. Maybe Tommy could help his former teammate Arenado out on how to get better with age.

Yeah I'll take Tommy Pham on my team. If it's a team of muggers or bank robbers. Or gangbangers.

He wasn’t facing the Cards in the playoffs last year when he hit .455 in the ALDS.

Since the start of 2020, Pham's gangster (donkey) has been worth 1.1 War/162G, in 652 total games played during that time according to baseball-reference

Does it really matter where he grew up? To me it only matters what kind of carer he has had. At this point, not a great career, and I was always hopeful.

+1...I see the usual Tommy haters are weighing in. Perhaps they have other issues with Tommy?

I don't like him because he's black.
