DBAHO Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 C Sandy Alomar wasn't the team's highest offseason priority, but it was important to re-sign him. After an intense offseason program a year ago, Alomar showed he still has pop in his bat to complement a game-calling ability that is among the best in the majors. He is more than willing to resume his role of starting two or three times a week and to serve as a tutor for Miguel Olivo. BEST HANDS 3B Joe Crede's offense was up and down last year, but his defense was steady from start to finish. His quick hands allow him to adeptly handle short hops moving to his left and make backhand stops behind the bag. Crede also works extensively in the batting cage to improve his quickness at the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
