Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I posted this in the White Sox Weekly thread, but I thought it probably should have gone here. Ed Farmer during the show yesterday said he had heard from a friend that Gload was gonna sign with the Padres. Now, I won't miss him, but somebody's gotta play first for us.

Unless the Sox released him, I do not believe Gload is a free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last trade deadline he said Peavy and Oswalt were very available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 That would be quite the move for the Padres, considering Gload isn't a free agent. This would be a historical signing to say the least. I give you: our new play-by-play man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 You guys are all basing your opinions on Gload being sure to be tendered a contract... But he obviously pissed some people off in this organizion... He's this off seasons Kelly Wunsch and I wouldn't be suprised at all to see him let go... The Sox have no real use for him... and it's hard to imagine Ozzie even wants him on the team considering how he was treated during the season...

When you come right down to it, if Ross was a full-time starter, he would probably have a better average than most of the guys in our line-up. That being said, I still don't want him starting for us, but as a back-up 1st baseman who can play outfield if necessary, he's a good bench player.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Thats the whole problem though... Unless he's able to play the OF he's totally useless to the Sox... last year he couldn't... and despite what some people here seem to think he's not the second coming of Ted Williams...

The Sox have no real use for him... and it's hard to imagine Ozzie even wants him on the team considering how he was treated during the season... Actually the truth is we dont know what the deal was with Gload. But the organization said that he couldnt throw the ball from the OF positions and if that was true we dont need a backup 1B. Konerko plays most games so all Gload would be is basicly a late inning defensive replacement and with how Ozzie likes to use the bench thats not good enough. Dont jump to conclusions so fast unless you know something the rest of us dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I could see us non-tendering Gload. He's not that useful. Dye will be the opening day first baseman before Gload would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The SOX have to juggle the 40 man roster to protect some of their young talent from the Rule 5 draft. Gload might be one of the guys to go in that effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gload might be one of the guys to go in that effort. The deadline for setting the 40 man has come and gone. We've protected everyone except Fabio Castro. We should be good.

He was pitching for the Dodgers and doing fairly well last season...until he hurt himself walking down the stairs in the bullpen and missed the rest of the regular season.
