Alomar didn't spend a lot of time on the same team with Tony Fernandez. At least not with Toronto. He came to the Jays from San Diego with Joe Carter for Fernandez and McGriff. Anyways, from 1991-1995, in Toronto, Alomar did win 5 Gold Gloves and averaged .307, not to mention the two world series in 92 & 93, for whatever that all is worth.
Toronto won those by pitching....GREAT staff Cone, Wells, Morris...not to mention the bullpen they had! MIKE TIMLIN....my boy!!!!
Sure they had great pitching. Lets not forget relievers Tom Henke and Duane Ward. But they also had awesome hitting as well. with guys like Winfield, Paul Molitor, Alomar, Joe Carter, George Bell, Olerud, Gruber, Fernandez briefly in '93. Let's not forget the best defensive center fielder in the game, Devon White. The two glory years of 92 & 93 the had three or four guys all hitting well over .300 and 100 RBIs. They particulary showed strong late inning offense in the first playoffs against stoppers such as Oakland's Dennis Eckersley and Atlanta's Jeff Reardon. Alomar himself hit a huge 2-run homer vs Eckersley to tie a very key ALCS game in the 9th inning. He also showed some excellent baserunning. Not to the mention the Jays blowing the doors off of the Phillies closer Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams the following year. Honestly, I can't remember what the infield defense did during those World series. But Alomar with all those Gold gloves was an awesome 2nd baseman for Toronto, let there be no doubt about that.
