As stands right now, Olivo usually catches 3 (Loaiza, Stewart, and Garland) of our starters anyway. Alomar has been huge in teaching Miguel how to call a game from behind the plate through one month of the season..... that's according to Farmio and Rooney during tonight's "White Sox Winner." MB and BC have stated that they prefer having Alomar calling their game for them, so I don't see the battery tandems changing anytime soon. For Alomar and Olivo, this is a win-win situation. Olivo gets the majority of playing time..... and will only get better with experience. He has an unparalleled arm for a youngster behind the plate and unnatural speed for a catcher. Alomar catches MB and BC and, in doing so, gets to rest those troublesome knees while teaching the future Sox backstop what he knows to become one of the elite C's in the game.
In reference to Alomar's pop however greg775, I do think Manuel should pinch-hit more often for Alomar late in the game with the White Sox either up big or down by a run or two. JM not PH'ing at the proper times is yet ANOTHER fault I constantly see with him.
