Mr. Showtime Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Sandy isn't bad, it's just that he can't stay on the field. If he can play 90 games this year, it'll be a good season for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt52235 Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 I agree. He can still swing the stick, and is good with the young pitchers. Though I wouldn't mind having a more regular catcher, something the socks haven't had in years. "Where Have You Gone, Charles Johnson"?

Chisoxfn Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I like Sandy way more then MJ, because the pitchers like Sandy a whole lot. The flaw is he can't stay healthy. Good thing Olivo is our starter and I think he will do good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggio202 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 i dont question sndy's skills..i question his health...his shoulder was so bad last year that he just one hopped throws to 2nd base..only throwing out 9% (im guessing , too lazy to look it up but im close) of the runners trying to steal...and his knees , i think if i saw sandy in shorts and looked at his knees i probably vomit...

According to peeps at Soxfest, Maunel claimed Alomar would start not Olivo. Maybe, that was just typical Manuel bs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM23 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Would you rather have Mark Johnson? I wouldn't. Sandy Alomar sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wsc425 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Sandy Alomar, Jr., is not bad. I think he's better than Paul and second to Olivo. He doesn't suck. All I am expecting out of him this year is .255/10/55. That would be a great season for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 If thats the case then why in the hell have Olivo on the major league roster. JM is a deuche if he lets Olivo rot on the bench. Its known Alomar can't start a full season and KW signed him to play maybe 60-70 games. Trust me, KW will have a little talk with JM, cause there is no way he's gonna let Olivo rot on the bench. Â If he does, then that would be the final straw. If in fact Olivo is the starter, then it will be yet another time JM opens his big mouth and says crap about a players role that won't come true.

I'm just going on what I read here. In one of the threads, someone posted what Manuel claimed was the lineup off the top of his head.  We know Olivo is going to get his time, and that Sandy will get hurt. My guess is that they would want to work Olivio in slowly. Not just toss him into the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 so are you saying that he is going to hit 10 hrs? Yeah, I think Sandy will hit 10 homers if he can stay on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Manuel did say as of now Sandy would be the catcher, but I think that he might have said that because Sandy was sitting right next to him, I'm pretty sure that Olivo will be the opening day catcher.
