Just heard it on the radio.

 

Sisco has the arm, but I dont know about this trade. Our best line drive hitter is gone, yet Pods is still on this team. Ozzie's insistence on midget speed guys who cant hit is amazing.

I love Ross as much as anyone but the problem is Ozzie just doesn't play him and probably never would. Our bullpen must have the best pure stuff in all of baseball with Sisco added to it. I like this trade a lot, though I'm going to miss Ross and I hope to god he gets his shot in KC, he deserves it.

If its true, I like the deal.

 

Sisco fits the model for the team out of the pen. Lots of nasty stuff... and he's a lefty.

 

I like Gload, he will be missed. But I think the deal is alright (presuming its true).

Going to miss Gload, but like other's have said. Hopefully he'll have the chance to finally be a starter and show what he's got.

with mack on the bench i got no problems with this...i hope ross does well, im not sure where he fits in KC, with shealy at 1st and sweeney, maybe OF maybe just becnh guy....but sisco is still really young, and hes the typical dare i say cooper project...if he can reduce those walks

Sisco has a good arm, and fits our mold. I am just still disgusted that Pods will be patrolling or kicking balls around in LF this year. This trade, and a platoon of Mack and Ozuna in LF would make me happy. Just venting.

As said Gload doesn't see enough time and Sisco can be down right nasty....I like the deal.

I like this trade you get a young Power Arm who is under the teams control for the next 4 years I am pretty sure his numbers were crap last year but Kenny would not trade for him unless he was sure he Coop could fix him and all that he had to give up was a bench player. I like alot of other people liked Ross Gload hopefully he will have a chance to play everyday.

Ya, well none of us are happy about Pods. That being said the first "goal" of the offseason was to make the bullpen nasty, now we don't have a nasty bullpen in terms of results yet but a pen of: Bobby, Matt, MacD, Aaaaardsma, Sisco and Floyd is sure nasty in the stuff department.

Sisco can be nasty, but his control sucks.

 

That is a fireballing bullpen we have.

WE CAN'T LIKE THIS DEAL!!! SISCO IS AN EX-CUB!!!!

 

I'll miss Gload's bat off the bench, but if Podsednik and Anderson can improve this season (and I believe.....hope....they can), then Mackowiak should replace Gload as the primary LH bench bat.

The Sox needed another lefty arm in the pen and Sisco has a lot of upside.

I like the deal.

I also do not want Pods on this team in 07 but if you cant upgrade from him you have keep him around till you can

another implication of this trade is whether we are gonna carry 12 pitchers this year, and if not who replaces gload on the bench? my guess is with macks and ozunas versatility and the fact that cintron can play anywhere in the IF that we will carry 12 pitchers (especially with inexperience in the pen) but that said, since ozzie said mack wont play center, even if anderson is in center we have no backup, so maybe sweeney stays on ?

Yup. Sounds like a Matt Thornton deal to me. Sisco probably is one of those guys that Coop has been salivating over for a few years.

 

I like this deal a lot. We all like Gload, but to get a quality bullpen arm for a utility player who never played is a pretty good deal on our end.

One that I must say I'm not a big fan of. Could just be because I love Gload's game so much and think he was a perfect PH off the bench late in games. Unfortunately we already ahve two with Mack and Cintron. It's also too bad that he really doesnt' have a position except first and we are all filled up there.

 

I really expect him to have some big base hits against us this year. On the other hand, hopefully Sisco is another Thornton. He has been some kinda awful the last two years.

Sisco is a former starter, is a BIG body, and has an option remaining.

 

I don't see Sisco with a guaranteed spot on this roster at all. He and Logan will fight for LOOGY dootys, but Sisco has more upside because of his stuff and size.

Well our pen is dirt cheap, and has a lot of live arms.

My guess is the bench will be

 

 

 

Mac, Corner OF

Ozuna, ALL over

Cintron, Middle IF

Terrarro, CF

CATCHER (Anybody but Alomar)

I like this trade actually. Freeing up a bench spot gives one of the kids (Sweeney, Owens, even Fields) a chance to really push Pods for the job in left or BA in center. And Sisco is almost unhittable when he is on, Cooper has done quite well so far rebuilding lefties. there is gonna be a lot of heat coming out of the pen this year.

I like Gload but he really never had a chance with us. Never got any playing time and was almost a wasted roster spot. Good to get another lefty for the pen so Ozzie can have the option to micro-manage the game.

 

Hm. Well, hate to say it, being as big a Gload fan as any, but this does appear to be a decent deal for all involved. Assuming Gload wasn't going to get a shot in LF (which he probably wasn't), then his talents were sort of wasted here. And Sisco will make for a nice addition.

 

But if we start the season with Pods in LF and Gload would have had a shot, then this is less than ideal.

 

I'm guessing that KC sees Sweeney's creaky body going downhill fast, and wants a 1B/DH to go with Shealy.

Tis how I feel. I'm still of the opinion that Ross can be a real good regular in this league(Tony is just wrong ) but he wasn't going to get his opportunity here.

If this is true, I like this trade a lot. Sisco's development may have been delayed because KC had to keep him up on the ML level since they grabbed him from the Cubs in the Rule IV (is it IV???) draft.

 

Seems like a trend that KW follows for Coop projects, and I like the results so far

If true, I'm sorry to see Gload go. But who will be the backup 1B for Paulie now? Mackowiak?

 

It would also be nice to have a second LH out of the pen.
