Mike you forgot to mention that he had 10 home runs every year since 2006!
I think Olivo is definetly deserving of a 2 year deal seeing as to what John Buck got and previous catchers. I’m not saying he should be the starting catcher both years…But it’s worth thinking about…I’d like to see the White Sox sign him.

I have to say it for the record. It was a brilliant move by AA, no one saw it coming, an 11th hour bought draft pick.

Could mean the next Albert Pujols for all we know…With the compensation picks of last year…he got Asher Wojciechowski (exactly the same pitcher as Josh Johnson and Jim Callis’ sleeper), Aaron Sanchez (one of the best pitchers taken in the draft and had a remarkable season…made it all the way to Rookie Ball), and Noah Syndergaard, an upside pitcher with a good change and curve…So he got another pick for pretty much nothing and will get many more…I mean if the guy loves drafting players whos going to stop him right?

“Olivo is a proven power threat, hitting no fewer than a dozen homers every year since 2006 and averaging 16 per season during that span.”Nope, he didn’t.
Meant to be a reply to SPAN… not sure why it didn’t turn out that way though. Hmm.

I was making a joke because Mike did a twitter poll and on twitter he said 10 instead of a dozen…
I’m having trouble understanding what you said…it said you were trying to reply to me but I don’t get the rest of it.

LOL @ “Olivo will turn 33 next July, an age when catchers can start to turn into pumpkins.”

Led both leagues in passed balls or just whatever league he was playing in at the time?

I found the answer – thanks anyway.

Not only has he led the league in passed balls, but also passed kidney stones.

White Sox had him and traded him away and not they want him back.

Looks like he does his share of striking out- over the last 3 yrs
2010 117K’s in 112 G
2009 126K’s 114G
2008 82K’s 84G
Compared to other FA’s Barajas, Torrealba and even Pudge Rodriguez, it’s not even close.

I’ll bet John Buck is still waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror, and laughing.
The Marlins are going to regret that one, because they’re paying him about $17 million more than he’s worth. I’d take Olivo over Buck any day.

I was at the game that he was taken out in the 8th or something against the cubs, and it was announce he was traded. I was sad then, but then we got Freddy, who went on to pitch 7 shutout innings of 4 hit ball to clinch the world series in ’05. My memory of Olivo is positive, and I don’t want it to get tarnished by a second stint with the ChiSox.

So why did toronto turn down a 1 year/$2.5M option on him? Doesnt that seem like a bargain? And something that they could trade?
