Adam Melhuse has been informed that he won't make the Rangers' Opening Day roster, with Jarrod Saltalamacchia solidifying his claim to the starting job and Taylor Teagarden slated to be the backup.

He is apparently going to explore his options, and the Rangers are checking around to see if there is any interest in him with other clubs.

So?

It’s rationale like this that leads to believe
AJ Pierzynski = Francisco Liriano + Boof Bonser + Joe Nathan

Another team interested?

I figured all bat-boy positions were already filled.

Maybe the Phillies need a back-up Phanatic…

I thought all NRI's made the roster

and forced our kids onto the bench and crowded the minors.

EG is reporting

that Nippert is likely out of the race and on the shelf for another 10 days. S/B an interesting decision with him: remove from the 40 or put him on the 60day dl…

Nippert not pitching

for the Texas Rangers is a good thing.

why

you would rather see mendoza?

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

and

the Duke is out 4-6 weeks; I guess they are only expecting to clean out “debris” rather than anything more serious…

You never know what they'll find once they get in there.

This is true

Adam appears to me to be a baseblall guy

He does his best by having stong spring trainings to make the show, but is not quite there. If no one else can offer him a ML backup job, he will be the backup to Ramirez at OKC a couple of weeks from now, and eventually become the next former catcher that leads his team to the playoffs in a coatching role.
