In my first two posts about Immaculate Grid go to guys, I selected Paul Lindblad and Joe Morgan, two players who have long since retired. For today’s edition, I think it is about time we choose someone that is still active. There are no shortages of players to choose from, with quite a few having stints with five teams or more. I’d like to start a round of current players with a guy I have grown to admire over the past year, Tommy Pham.
This isn’t the first time I’ve written about Mr. Pham. Nearly three months ago, I wrote that it was nearing late March and he didn’t have a team. It was highly disappointing that Pham was still unemployed despite the fact he could potentially be a missing ingredient for a playoff contender. He eventually signed with the Chicago White Sox, who currently have the worst record in baseball. Chicago represents the eighth stop in Pham’s Major League odyssey and considering the plight of the Sox, team number nine is just around the corner. With a .313 batting average in 31 playoff and World Series games, expect Pham to be playing deep into October once again.
Position players aren’t usually known for bouncing around between that many teams. Relievers are usually the ones who switch teams every two years or so. However, Pham is an exception to this rule and at this time next year, he very well could hit double digit organizations.
