The Philadelphia Phillies Absolutely Need to Put Ross Gload on the DL
Recently, news came out that reserve first baseman Ross Gload has been playing with a hip tear. Gload says he will play through the pain because he doesn’t want to have season-ending surgery.
Unfortunately, Gload is becoming a liability to the team. He’s a great pinch-hitter who leads the major leagues with eight pinch-hits, but he can’t physically play the field because of...

Philadelphia Phillies Reserve Infielder Ross Gload Should Be Having Season-Ending Surgery

NormalBull: Former Bull Ross Gload had a monster night for the Phillies last night. Gload went 3 for 5 with 3 runs scored, 4 RBIs and 2 home runs. The Phillies wasted his efforts by losing to the Dodgers by a slow pitch softball score of 15-9. Still, a great game by an ex-Bull.Normal

Chooch, Gload Start Road Trip Off Right
Chooooooch. All Star? He’s getting there. Clutch hitter? He’s already there.
Carlos Ruiz was 4-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, and a game winning RBI in the ninth inning as the Phils opened their road trip with a 9-5 win over the Rockies. Ross Gload provided the cushion in the 9th with his first homer as a Phillie, a pinch-hit three-run smash that just barely...

Reportedly a two-year deal, he's coming off a season in which he hit a capable .261/.329/.400 and led baseball in pinch hits. Beerleaguer: With Gload, Ben Francisco, Brian Schneider, Greg Dobbs and Juan Castro, the Phillies have a "presentable" bench headed into 2010. It wasn't long ago that...

Ross Gload a Phillie
Ruben Amaro Jr. wasted no time this offseason bolstering the bench with 3 players that fit the exact mold of what the Phillies needed. Juan Castro was first aboard as the utility infielder, then followed Brian Schneider at backup catcher, and now rounding out the final open reserve role will be 1st baseman/corner outfielder Ross Gload. The bench now consists of the three players...
