Tommy Pham is the teammate we all need in our lives and other Spring Training news - A Hunt and Peck

Will Dexter get his hair cut? Is Marcell Ozuna fitting in?

On Sunday Spring Training officially began as the full team reported to Jupiter, Florida. Many players had been there already, but now everyone is working out and preparing for the upcoming season. In the few days since, a couple of story-lines have already formed. The following is all the major news from Spring Training thus far*...

*according to me

Marcell Ozuna has arrived

The newest Cardinal outfielder is working out with the team and appears to be fitting in nicely.

The Cardinals outfield is together at last

With the arrival of Marcell Ozuna the entire Cardinal starting outfield is together. They have already began to work together.

One of the first orders of business for the Cardinals’ new outfield: communication. When they’ll talk. What they’ll say. Right now, it’s Tommy Pham’s voice ringing loudest. #STLCards pic.twitter.com/S6RzBmLakH

Tommy Pham is awesome

Tommy Pham is ready to play some baseball. He is the teammate we all need in life.

I asked Tommy Pham what's different about this Spring Training compared to years past?

"Mo said I'm on the team," he said.#STLCards

Tommy Pham is now tracking pitches left-handed, because pitchers need to see guys on both sides, and that’s just the kinda teammate he is.

Dexter Fowler’s hair did not get cut

Once again, the Dexter and Aliya Fowler steal our hearts. Unfortunately for Dex, he was unable to get his hair cut before picture day for the eighth year in a row.

He apparently will not be only shaggy Cardinal.

I’m my defense. I just asked the team when the barber is coming & they said the day after picture day... so... yeah #someonehadjustonejob #scruffycardinals https://t.co/GV8l5MRw3t
