Rank:<\/strong>\u00a044<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a02001-2002, 2003-2004, 2006<\/p>\n

Sandy Alomar Jr., son of former White Sox second baseman Sandy Alomar, signed with the team as a free agent on December 18, 2000.\u00a0 Alomar, brought in to replace the departed Charles Johnson, split time behind the plate with Mark Johnson as the White Sox looked to defend their Central Division title from the year before.\u00a0 Alomar appeared in 70 games, hitting .245 with a team low .634 OPS.<\/p>\n

Johnson saw more playing time in 2002, as Alomar moved into more of a backup\/mentor role.\u00a0 Appearing in 51 games, Alomar improved his average to .287 and his OPS jumped to .794.\u00a0 As the trade deadline approached and the White Sox destined to finish in the middle of the pack, Alomar was traded to the Rockies for a middling prospect who never developed.\u00a0 Following the season, however, he re-signed with the White Sox as a free agent.<\/p>\n

With Johnson traded in the offseason, rookie Miguel Olivo became the starting catcher in 2003, with Alomar back in the backup\/mentor role.\u00a0 Appearing in 75 games and garnering 194 at bats, Alomar hit .268 with an OPS of .689.<\/p>\n

Alomar returned in 2004 and was one of 4 catchers to appear in at least 45 games for the White Sox.\u00a0 He got 146 at bats and hit .240 with an OPS of .606.\u00a0 Following the season, he left as a free agent.<\/p>\n

Near the trade deadline in 2006, as the White Sox looked to bolster their roster to defend their World Series championship, Alomar was re-acquired for a third time, via trade from the Dodgers for a middling prospect.\u00a0 Alomar appeared in 19 games for the White Sox, hitting .217 in 46 at bats, as the team fell short of the playoffs despite posting 90 wins.\u00a0 Following the season, Alomar became a free agent, leaving the team for good.<\/p>\n
