News: Phillies sign Ross Gload for their Bench
The Phillies have signed Ross Gload to a two-year contract, according to MLB.com.
The 33–year-old Gload hit .261 last season for the Marlins, but had a .318 average as a pinch hitter, while batting .271 against right-handed pitching.
Gload has played first base and all three outfield positions during his career.
Earlier tonight, FoxSports.com said Gload deciding between the Phillies, Braves and Marlins.
… gload did have a good average from the bench, against righties, and he does play first, so i would have thought the Mets might have been involved…
…but, i can’t see them giving out a two-year deal to a bench player…
