Jarrod Saltalamacchia & FAAB

The Official Site of The Texas Rangers: News: Saltalamacchia could return to Rangers:

"DETROIT -- Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia could join the Rangers as soon as Friday night in Arlington.

General manager Jon Daniels said it is a 'distinct' possibility' that Saltalamacchia could be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma after backup catcher Adam Melhuse suffered a bruised right hand in the Rangers' 8-2 loss to the Tigers on Thursday.

Melhuse was hit by a pitch in the dirt and had X-rays after the game. He'll be evaluated on Friday in Arlington."

With the dearth of power in the AL, Saltalamacchia is worth a huge FAAB bid. C and 1B are weak postions in the AL, and Salty qualifies at either.
