WhiteSoxPride3035 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 He cant hit at the major league level. And his ability to work with pitchers has also been questioned. But i would perfer him throwing out base runners for the sox I think everyone would prefer a young gun like Olivo over Alomar. It's just that Olivo isn't ready. Sandy will catch until May or June, and then when his legs give out and/or Olivo is ready, Miguel will be ready to take over, or so we hope.

But he lost a lot of time in learning how to work with pitchers... due to language problems... Plus the organization has shown its willing to take its time and move young hitters along slowly, gives them more of a chance to susceed, and it also helps in that they dont reach FA till there late 20s early 30's... therefore they are more in there prime and we get more years of production out of them...

Chisoxfn Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I read where Olivo's problems were due to him taking a while to learn english. Now he's improved a whole lot and he may not be perfect but its not longer much of a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's improved a whole lot and he may not be perfect but its not longer much of a concern. His speaking to the pitchers is no longer a concern... but he lost valuable time in learning how to handle pitchers... thats the primary reason alomar was brought back... to hopefully help him learn those things... they will send him down to AAA for a couple months... get his head straight... his swing working again... and then call him up and have him learn from alomar...

YASNY Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I don't know if Miguel is ready or not. I haven't seen him yet. But if he can't handle major laegue pitching at this point, they really need to send him down. And that is for the sake of his developement. I'd rather see him in AAA for a year too long, than have him called up a year too soon. He's got the cannon hanging from his shoulder and I want to see this become a solid major league catcher someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
