Seriously, his promotion is long overdue.

It is crazy, Moore brought him in to be his 1B, didn't he?

he’s HIS guy, now that he’s showing that he might be able to be that guy, how can you not let him try it??

It its a roster problem, shouldn’t he have thought about that long ago. I mean, he signed Gload in the offseason, had he already given up on Shealy?

My mother's basement is better than YOUR mother's basement!!

Ryan Shealy

He’s younger

He has the semblance of power.

He fields his position pretty well.

Moore gave up two TWO pitchers (the commodity of baseball) to get him.

Yea, I don’t get it either. Any reasonable GM should be able to see Ross Gload is a stop gap guy who belongs on the bench, not a guy who plays every day.

Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com

by RoyalsRetro on Jul 23, 2008 2:15 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Obligatory repetition

Hillman thinks Gload is an everyday 1B, and he’s not coming out of the lineup unless Moore signs Lou Gehrig.

I think they have one guy in the truck trying to do it all, switch cameras, keep up on outs, count and baserunners, dude needs some help.

Lately he’s been awfully busy putting up baserunners while the Royals are pitching. He has a demanding job.

JoPo

Should create a metric that gives the probability of a given lineup being no-hit. I would imagine one with Gathright and Gload would have a high probability.

I think Bill James or Rob Neyer created a tool

that measured probable no hitters for a pitcher

TPJ is still probably too sore from pitching the other night that he wont be available to pinch hit to break up the perfect game.
