I still think Ross Gload has it in him to be the starting 1st baseman for a big league team if he ever gets the shot. He controls the bat really well, doesn't have the power of our guys, but should be able to hit .300+ with moderate power over a full season if he's given the shot. It's sort of a shame that the 2 guys in front of him are just so bloody good.
I agree with this 100%. I love Gload and would hate to see him go, but he could start in a lot of places. I was a little surprise the Cubs did not try to get Gload as a cheap replacement when DLee went down. But then again, the Cubs are stupid and nothing should surprise me with them.
