Chris Stewart a free agent (Lone Star Ball)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:00:07 GMT

I just saw a note that indicated that former Ranger Chris Stewart has cleared waivers, having been dropped by the New York Yankees, and is now a free agent. Which leads me to wonder...should the Rangers sign Stewart and let him back up Jarrod Saltalamacchia for the next few weeks, allowing Max Ramirez to go back to AAA? Thoughts?

News of the Weird: A Salty Cat (Batter's Box Interactive Magazine)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:25:00 GMT

Oddities and Quirks ... Last night, former Jay Frank Catalanotto and his current Ranger teammate Jarrod Saltalamacchia had back-to-back RBI at-bats for Texas. It was a history-making event (we think) as Salty has the longest last/family name in major league history (14 letters -- sorry, William "Unlucky 13" Van Landingham) while Cat, with 11 letters in his own last/family name, ain't...

Assessing the Teixeira trade: Who's winning? (The Anniston Star Online)

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 05:00:07 GMT

ATLANTA — The Braves-Rangers series last week brought Mark Teixeira and the seven-player blockbuster trade of July back to the forefront. Less than a year since the deadline deal, it's too early to tell exactly how much the Braves traded away in Jarrod Saltalamacchia and four other prospects for Teixeira and reliever Ron Mahay.

Laird, Salty to "split time evenly" (Lone Star Ball)

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:22:29 GMT

According to Richard Durrett, Gerald Laird has been told that he and Jarrod Saltalamacchia will "split time evenly" behind the plate. Personally, at this point, I'd like to see Chris Shelton called up to replace Ben Broussard, with Shelton and Botts splitting time at 1B, and Salty getting some time at DH (along with Botts, Bradley, and Cat). Shelton being a possible third catcher would...

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...

Saltalamacchia will be active tonight (Lone Star Ball)

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:56:45 GMT

Jarrod Saltalamacchia is in D/FW and will be active for tonight's game, per Jon Daniels (via the S-T) . No corresponding move yet to clear a spot on the 25 man for him, but my guess is that Luis Mendoza goes to the d.l., and they wait a day or two to see how Adam Melhuse is. If he's only going to be out a game or two, Salty gets sent back down in a few days to make room for another pitcher,...

A Strike Is a Strike, Right? (Beyond the Boxscore)

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:24:06 GMT

After my last post about catcher framing, many people (at least two or three) suggested that the pitching staff had a fair amount to do with the results we were seeing. The poor performance of both the Rangers' catchers (Gerald Laird and Jarrod Saltalamacchia) seemed to lend credence to that stance. I started wondering what factors might influence an umpire to call a pitch a certain...
