September 24, 200421 yr this is the point where some bright young gm trades FOR gload and makes him a starter. LOL...So negative, but probably oh so true!!! I'm at the point now where i have officially no idea what direction we will go in the offseason
September 25, 200421 yr LOL...So negative, but probably oh so true!!! I'm at the point now where i have officially no idea what direction we will go in the offseason South, in all likelihood.
September 25, 200421 yr .311 BA, .372 OBP, .430 SLG, .802 OPS I would like to see better power numbers from Ross, but I definitely can't complain with what he's done thus far. You gotta love his debut season on the South Side. For some odd reason when ever I hear the name Ross Gload, Jeff Liefer pops into my head
September 25, 200421 yr Qwerty my friend, please give up on the Konerko trade stuff. If it happens KW is certifiably crazy and should be committed. Gload can't replace Paulie, but can fill the role of reserve quite well. Anyone who has read the Cheat's latest blog entry on Konerko, can see why it's a perfect time to move him, while his value is sky high. His home splits are way higher than his away splits. If we can get a real good package deal like Milwaulkee got for Sexson and the Cardinals got for Drew, we should absolutely look into making that trade, while we have an able replacement in Gload.
September 25, 200421 yr For some odd reason when ever I hear the name Ross Gload, Jeff Liefer pops into my head Too bad Liefer is almost the complete opposite compared to Gload. Liefer just couldn't hit for an high enough average to be an everyday player.

You gotta love his debut season on the South Side. Still made a crappy play in the outfield against the Cubs. His defensive approach is a worthless piece of s***. Good offensive production, though.
September 25, 200421 yr Still made a crappy play in the outfield against the Cubs. His defensive approach is a worthless piece of s***. Good offensive production, though. He's not an outfielder, beastly. He's a very good defensive firstbasemen.
September 25, 200421 yr Still made a crappy play in the outfield against the Cubs. His defensive approach is a worthless piece of s***. Good offensive production, though. So? And Juan Uribe made an error on Opening Day at the Cell. What's your point? Give Ross a chance to play at one set position - be it right field, left field, or first base - and let him work at that position alone for a bit, and I think he can turn into, at the very least, a servicable defender...

If Ross hasn't become an OK OFer by now, I doubt it will happen. I know people point to Carlos, but Lee was way younger when he made the conversion. Plus Gload has played more OF in his career than Lee ever did before making the switch.
September 25, 200421 yr Ross is a great defensive 1B in my opinion. However I don't want him to be the starter. If we could get full value for Konerko then I would certainly tolerate it but I think Ross best serves us as a utility player. There are cheaper alternatives to put at 1B if we do move Konerko.

Opening day is NOT the same as the cubs/sox series.
September 25, 200421 yr Author Opening day is NOT the same as the cubs/sox series. Yeah, he also missed a grand slam by about five inches to start the series at Wrigley. He followed that retracted home run up with a two-run bases loaded double.
September 25, 200421 yr Still made a crappy play in the outfield against the Cubs. His defensive approach is a worthless piece of s***. Good offensive production, though. He's only a worthless piece of s*** in RF. He's decent in left and very good at first.
September 27, 200421 yr Gload is a stud and I would gladly say goodbye to Konerko to see him play everyday at first. Not sure about outfield though.
September 28, 200421 yr Author 9/27 Ross hits two doubles to increase his hitting-streak to eleven games. I think he may have just missed a home run as well, but I was just getting text updates over the internet. .322 BA, .380 OBP, .467 SLG, .847 OPS Quickly becoming one of my favorite White Sox to watch.

Guess who now holds the best BA with RISP on the Sox now... Sorry Timo the door is that-a-way ----------> Gload's RISP average is up to .400 -- With an OPS of almost 1.100 --- Suck on in timo.
September 28, 200421 yr Ross has been my favorite all year--at the beginning of the season he was my avatar and every game I went to I wore a I heart Ross Gload shirt. Glad to see the kid living up to his potential. Ross Gload
