The Phillies have signed 33-year old 1B/OF Ross Gload to a 2-year deal. Gload played in 125 games for the Marlins last season and he was 60 for 230 (.261 avg, .729 OPS) with 33 runs scored, 6 homers and 30 RBIs. He has now played in 608 games in his 8 years in the majors and he is 405 for 1,432 (.283 avg, .736 OPS) with 176 runs scored, 28 homers, 192 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. This was a good move for the Phillies who needed a dependable stick off the bench and Gload is more than capable of providing that to them.
