Where is Ross Gload????

Recommended Posts

Is anybody else worried that we do not have a backup first baseman yet we have a perfectly capable one down in Charlotte in Ross Gload. What do Ozzie and Kenny have against him? He was awesome last year. Why are they treating him like they did Kelly Wunsch last year? :huh :huh :huh :huh

We clearly need him to also be the 7th outfielder on this team before we bring him back.

Since he will be the starting 1bman here next year(Or atleast he better be), he deserves to show what he can do now.

 

Ross Gload will not be the Sox starting first baseman in 2005, mark my words. Even if Paul Konerko does not come back, Kenny Williams will go out and get a real first baseman.

I should of made my words clearer. He better be the 1st baseman next year if we are to stay within the system. Paulie better not be back.

When healthy Gload is a great utility guy, and a solid PH/defensive replacement.  As a starter, no, he would be a huge downgrade.

The only downgrade would be in power numbers, every other statistic would go up, including defense.

That is assuming he would hit for the same averages playing everyday instead of being matched up in favorable conditions coming off of the bench.

I can't believe this discussion is actually taking place. Ross Gload is not an everyday 1B for a good ML baseball team. He's a good DL fill in, late inning replacement and give the regular an occasional day off kind of guy. No disrespect to Ross, as those guys do have a certain amount of value. But as an everyday 1B, no thanks.

His numbers when he was playing almost everyday in Sept. 04 were by far the best numbers he put up.

 

He was adequate in the months before that coming off the bench, never having his average drop below .250 in any month.

 

He hit .299 against Righties, and a whopping .425 against lefties, from the left side of the plate in 04.

 

Is that considered favorable conditions?

September. That's the time of year when teams with no shot bring up their AAA pitchers to see if they might be worth a s***. Yes, I'd say that's favorable conditions to a hitter.

So we are basing his ablity to start on one month of starting? Eep.
