White Sox figure that anybody must be better than Ross Gload
2006-12-16 09:51
by Bob Timmermann

The White Sox traded Ross Gload to Kansas City in exchange for pitcher Andrew Sisco.

Last year, Sisco appeared in 65 games for 58 1/3 and had an ERA of 7.10. According to Baseball-reference.com, Sisco's closest comp is Craig Skok. The White Sox are apparently hoping that Sisco has a Mike McDougal like resurgence.

Actually, Gload had an OPS of .816 in limited action last year, but has no place to play because Paul Konerko and Frank Thomas Jim Thome are on the White Sox.

"Sisco & Gload" sounds like the title of a bad cop show.

Lets not go thinking that McDougal is a stud or anything

Either we've entered a time warp, or you meant to say "Paul Konerko and Jim Thome are on the White Sox."

Dan Pasqua would have been a more fun error, Bob.

hey!!!

dan pasqua is my personal "farm system produced guy who never REALLY got a chance but some kid has a completely unsubstantiated boyhood this is my FAVOURITE player EVER type fanatcism of" guy

so there shall be no further disparraging remarks made on MY watch, thankyuoverymuch.

(you can just imagine the dismay when i told the guy at the store - in 1998 no less - that my #21 yankees jersey was being purchased as a tribute to dan pasqua and not paul o'neill.)

I wasn't disparaging Pasqua. His swing was one of my favorite to emulate back in the wiffle-ball years.

Gload. Skok. Fruto.
