He is currently 4th in franchise history in games caught with 855. His knee injury plagued his playing ability, as he threw out just 4 of 31 base-stealers in 1999. The Indians picked up Alomar's 2000 Club Option on November 2nd. The Royals, Twins, Dodgers and Blue Jays had expressed interest in signing Alomar. However, playing healthy since 1996 and helped by a strong performance in the 1997 Post-season, Sandy has know carved a niche for himself.
Loyalty counts for nothing today.
I was appalled. I am glad that he has gone to the White Sox, and this year I might be running for a different team. I will seem strange but if the Indians and the White Sox are having a game it will be a difficult choice for me. He still has good value, as it appears the The Royals, Twins, Dodgers, Blue Jays and White Sox can see.
