Evan Grant on the catching situation (Lone Star Ball)

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:39:31 GMT

For those of you who don't get what the Rangers are doing with the catching situation... Evan Grant agrees... He suggests Adam Melhuse should have gone on the 60 day d.l., because it sends the wrong message to potential 6 year free agents to flat release an injured player, and called up Max Ramirez to back up Gerald Laird, rather than bringing Salty up to split time with him and have...

Saltalamacchia called up; will Laird finally be dealt? (MLB Trade Rumors)

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:42:58 GMT

Jarrod Saltalamacchia has been called up, and GM Jon Daniels has no plans for him to warm the bench. Salty performed well at AAA Oklahoma, and when backup backstop Adam Melhuse broke a bone in his hand on Thursday, the call-up seemed imminent. However, incumbent Rangers catcher Gerald Laird has also been solid to start the season. Given the organization's desire to get Saltalamacchia...

Nice patience (Rangers blog)

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:47:13 GMT

Adam Melhuse and Ben Broussard made starter Dustin Moseley throw strikes and he didn't as both drew walks to load the bases in the second. Ian Kinsler's sacrifice fly to center scored Murphy from third. Michael Young hit a single up the middle to score another run. Kevin Millwood did a nice job of getting out of a jam in the second. His error on a grounder got the inning started, but...

Brandon McCarthy to the 60 day d.l. (Lone Star Ball)

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:37:02 GMT

Evan Grant reports that the final spot on the 40 man roster for the new additions (Dustin Nippert, Adam Melhuse, Jamey Wright, Franklyn German) will be created by putting Brandon McCarthy on the 60 day disabled list. That means McCarthy cannot be activated until May 29, at the earliest. Color me disappointed. I was hopeful that McCarthy would be back by mid-May.

Let's talk catcher (Rangers blog)

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:15:29 GMT

So now that Gerald Laird is starting and Adam Melhuse is backing up, let's talk about catcher. I think this decision makes the most sense. Jarrod Saltalamacchia wants to catch. He's not going to do that often enough playing behind Laird. Saltalamacchia needs to get used to handling a pitching staff on a fulltime basis and to improving defensively. He's good enough to play in the majors....

Catcher chat (Rangers blog)

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:14:28 GMT

The Rangers return to the field today after getting yesterday off -- their only "off" day of the spring. But the competition at catcher continues. The Rangers have some options: • Option A: Make Gerald Laird the starter and veteran Adam Melhuse the backup. Send Jarrod Saltalamacchia to Triple-A Oklahoma and let him play as many days as possible and get some more experience with a pitching...

Surprise Party, I've lost count (Rangers blog)

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:08:35 GMT

Taylor Teagarden was among the players shipped back over to the minor league side Friday morning, meaning the back-up catcher will come from the group of Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Adam Melhuse, unless the Rangers go and pick up another veteran. I am convinced that Gerald Laird's strong spring has only affirmed his spot as the starter. Also sent out was CF Brandon Boggs. The verdict is...

Guardado signs (Rangers blog)

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:42:53 GMT

Long-awaited, the official Eddie Guardado deal is apparently done and will be announced shortly by the Rangers. Don't yet have the terms, but you can bet it's an affordable one-year deal. Also, the club has signed C Adam Melhuse and RHP Jamey Wright to minor league contracts with invitations to major league spring training. More on these developments later.

Quick Friday morning stuff (Lone Star Ball) (SportsBlogs Nation)

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 16:00:48 GMT

I'm busy, so a real brief morning post... Adam Melhuse has been DFA'd, apparently because of Travis Metcalf's performance in the doubleheader on Wednesday. Seems a little weird to me, since they could have sent Metcalf down and brought him up a week later when rosters expanded, but whatever. Maybe they want Melhuse to get a chance to hook on with a contender or something. From...

Victor Diaz and Adam Melhuse just hit back-to-back homers, so perhaps I should begin paying attention to this game. However, I've been looking at this picture and snickering. All the witty comments that popped into my head are inappropriate for a family blog.

The Oakland Athletics traded little-used backup catcher Adam Melhuse to Texas on Saturday for cash considerations, reuniting him with former A's coach and first-year Rangers manager Ron Washington. Texas had expressed interest in acquiring Melhuse about a month ago. The A's will call up Kurt Suzuki from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the backup catcher spot, and he was set to join...
