Helton, Grace, Konerko. He's always been looking up. It's time for him to look down. Give him his chance now.

Haha. Linux > All... that's the end of the story.

Ross is a grinder. Period. You cannot deny that no matter how much you hate his swing. At least his swing isn't looooong. It's short and sweet. Ross has got a nice swing.

How is it crazy? No one can't forcast it either. It's more of a " I can see him doing this", and I can see Gload hitting .300 for a full season. But, realistically, he'd probably hit around .280.

Should have just made a new one. Run adaware and spybot search and destroy. ALso if you don't have a virus cleaner, Google AVG 6.0. Best free virus cleaner money can't buy. How much RAM do you have?

Try running some adware and spybot killers and also a virus cleaner before you install. Perhaps you are running out of hard drive space too? This is all I could come up with...

Rowand44, I see you have one of those adwares that highlight certain texts and link them to something. You should run Adaware or something to get rid of that. I agree. I love Paulie just as much as the next guy, but it's time to let this grinder play.

Yes you did, and a damn good job of it too.

Exactly. Ace

I meant like how the Twins win year in year out with players exactly like Ross Gload. I'd be willing to bet that after Gload hit that double off of Frankie Rodriguez, Angel's fans gained some serious respect for this nobody.

Whoever wrote that obviously has no clue who the Twins are.

"So overall what have we learned?" That Timo's job is being a bench player and nothing more, while coming in in RISP or bunting opportunity's. I don't see how you can hate him for doing his job.

I'm curious as to if Nancy Faust was there, if they used the speakers, any of those races, or anything? How many Cubs fans were there?

Exactly. Look at the hypothetical numbers I posted any way you want to. It really doesn't matter. If we have both Frank and PK, both extremely slow players, clogging up bases, then that spells trouble. It has for the past 4 years! Konerko is an extremely streaky player. I mean, honestly, we don't know what we'll get from him next year. He's been consistently good this year, but next year he could go on another .200 tear. Granted, we also don't know what we're getting in Gload, however, he's a much better person to have slumping than a guy like Kong. Kong slumps, he K's, he GIDP's, and he sucks. We really even haven't seen Gload slump. Also, Gload and Kong alike are both 28, so there's no need to say "Oh, we should keep the younger player, and that's Kong", because they're both the same age, just Kong has a little more experiance. Gload just hasn't had the time to prove himself, and in my opinion, he deserves to be a starter. Trade Konerko, I don't care. I want to see Gload now. He's a left, he's a grinder, he's a hit for average guy, he has some speed, so he's not a base clogger. Who cares if he's in a power position on the field? Gload would fit like a glove on the Twins, and we don't even need a 40 HR guy like Kong. We would have gotten 40 bombs out of Frank this year, and Carlos is penciled in for 30 every year. So play Gload at first base. I realize Paulie is a fan favorite though, and the loss of him, if it happens, will be hard to stomach for Sox fans. But if this team comes out strong then I guarantee, just like any other fans, that we'll forget all about Konerko. Not to mention we could get a player just as good as Konerko in exchange, whether it be pitchers or position players. It's not like we get nothing out of the deal. I'd feel good going into next year if we got a good 3rd baseman and reliever for Konerko and a prospect, or even Crede, while also acquiring a good starting pitcher via free agency.

Rowand44 Molto Jason All three of you are right on the money and I agree 100%. Gload deserves better than this. We could use that 8 mill we gain from Kong and go get a GOOD pitcher.

I can't believe how many of you are denouncing this idea. Let's take a look at Gloads numbers if he was given as many at bats as PK. Keep in mind, he's contributed both as a starter and as a bench player. Konerko: AB- 490 BA- .276 OBP- .358 HR- 36 RBI- 102 These would probably be Gloads numbers if he had 500 at bats right now. Gload: AB- 513 (171 x 3) BA- .304 OBP- .358 HR- 12 (Although I believe this would go up if he started more. When he pinch hits he usually goes for the hit) RBI- 99 Gloads one of those grinders we need. I don't give a f*** if he plays RF, 1B, where they're supposed to be premier power players. We have enough in Carlos and Frank. Gload would help this team much more than PK, just because of his ability to be extremely clutch.

Making a powerpoint takes like 5 minutes if you already know what to say.

Well where are ya? I don't see you!

I'm one post ahead of ya.
