The good news? Hillman goes on record saying they're going to platoon first base between Shealy and Ka'aihue. The bad news? Hillman said this means more Ross Gload at the corner outfield spots, in right and left. The funny news? Hillman felt the need to make sure everyone knew he had already run this idea past Gload first. Seriously, why does Trey think it even matters if Gload is ok with the switch? I can just see Hillman putting his arm around Gload's shoulder, consoling him Ross that it's going to be ok, that he still has a chance to play if "he turns up his work in the outfield — in left and right." Poor Gload.
