I have two AL-only fantasy teams. They both have Jarrod Saltalamacchia. This is going to end well. Saltalamacchia, who has something to prove from the right side of the plate, had an opposite-field single off of Lee in the second inning, then later turned around and hit a long ball off of Jensen Lewis. Depending on how much time Joe Mauer misses, Saltalamacchia could start the All-Star Game for the American League.

Ummmm....
Yeah. I’m not sure I’m buying into the Salty kool-aid just yet. His stench from last year is still on my clothes and doesn’t seem to come out in the wash easily.
Everyone just settle down. If anyone has a shot to call pitches from behind the plate and wearing a Rangers uniform, it’s going to be Teagarden. Or hell, Max Ramirez. Has everyone forgot how abysmal Salty was at the plate last year??
He wasn't really as "abysmal" as it seemed
He still managed a .353 OBP and he hit .311/.426/.451 (876 OPS) against right-handed pitching. He also hit .312/.379/.416 (795 OPS) from July 1st on. The only “abysmal” part of his year at the plate last year was his .443 OPS against lefties, which skewed his overall line.
Hello Win Column - no two-tone helmets have been included in our redesign.
Yeah.
He’s getting a little over-excited.
There really aren’t any overly good catchers in the AL though, so Salty’s got a shot.
I second what coolaid said
That’s a pretty bold prediction. I love Salty, but Mauer is the catching sweetheart of the league. It would take a lot to unseat him.

not starter
He won’t get elected as the starter but he could very well be a backup.

It would take a lot
not if Mauer doesn’t play because of his injury. Posada will likely get a stupid number of votes, whether or not he deserves it, but I can certainly see Salty making the team.

This is somewhat confusing...
I’m as bearish on Cliff Lee as anyone you’ll find, but then again, I would have said that in June of last year as well. Lee will regress to an ERA in the vicinity of 4.00 this year, likely because his walks and BABIP tick back up. He won’t be as bad as he was yesterday, when the Rangers lit him up for seven runs in five innings, but I’d be surprised if he picked up even a single Cy vote this season.
The Rangers are going to do this to a lot of good pitchers, especially lefties.
I would have thought the opposite.

I think the Rangers will do that to any pitcher with arms, handedness be damned.

He’d still have to contend with VMart and Peirzynski in the voting however, even if Mauer is out for an extended period, so I don’t really see it happening (even if he is performing better than VMart and punch-AJ).
But it’s certainly nice to see Sheehan excited about Salty.

Now it will never happen because Sheehan is always wrong!
Seriously, though, he really is like BP’s Buster Olney. He makes off-the-beaten-path claims just to be “ballsy” or something, usually substantiated by not doing his homework or trying to prove he’s a traditionalist or something, and they very often blow up in his face.

Salty
At this point id be furious if the rangers traded him for anything less than buchholz and im not even sure id like that too much
Funny...
…I just started thinking the same thing. My question: at the beginning of Pudge’s dominance as one of the league best catcher, how many pitchers would you have traded him for? How many pitching prospects?
Yeah, for Buch
But for Bowden or any of those other chumps, nuh-uh.
Hello Win Column - no two-tone helmets have been included in our redesign.
TAG
I recall Tom Grieve last year talking about young players with high obp and how they are on the verge of breaking out. Salty fits that description. His obp jumped up to .352 last year dispite his uneven playing time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he posted a >.750 ops this year.

But he makes a good point. There aren’t a lot of stand-out catchers in the AL and if Salty makes enough noise with the bat, he may just be the guy behind the plate at the ASG…

This guy said so many dumb things
"It doesn't look like he's trying. It kinda pisses me off," "He could throw 110 if he tried. The way it explodes out of his hand is really something special." ~ B-Mac on Feliz.
if you go there
be nice. He certainly doesn’t know what he is talking about.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Feliz and Andrus
Personally, I disagree with everything he said.
The Rangers had a hole at third base bigger than the one in Travis Metcalf’s swing. They had the opportunity to fill it over the winter and whiffed. Rather than adding a stopgap, or trying to ignore the problem they dealt with it. Moving Young to third, immediately improves the defense we got at third. For that matter, its a better offensive solution (even though Young won’t hit that much) than going with Metcalf and Vizquel and maybe putting Davis or Blalock back at third and getting one of them hurt. Arias can barely play short with his arm, so third is “right out”. The question then becomes, who do you play at short since you’ve moved Young. Well, I guess the question is, who’s the best fielder we have at short? Answer: Elvis Andrus. Who’s the best hitter we have at short? Amazingly, the answer is still Elvis Andrus.
Name Projection
Elvis .248/.301/.334
Vizquel .224/.283/.278
Arias .259/.294/.373
Duran .264/.316/.434
Ok, maybe that’s an overstatement. Duran will probably outhit Elvis. But Duran isn’t going to play short everyday. And maybe Arias outslugs Elvis. maybe.
His arguments about Feliz ignore everything which is good about him. We know he has command issues, but he can sort them out in AAA as easily as AA, and he did post a 2.98 ERA and allowed only 34 hits in 45.3 innings at AA DESPITE a .306 BABIP, oh, and yeah. one home run allowed.
In his 3 year minor league career, he’s pitched 198 innings. He’s allowed 5 home runs in that span.
For comparison: Edinson Volquez allowed 38 homes in his 4 year, 550 inning minor league career, and 28 more in his four seasons and 276 innings in the majors. John Danks allowed 39 homers in his 4 seasons in the minors over 426.1 innings, and in 2 seasons in the majors, has allowed 43 in 334 innings. Thomas Diamond has allowed 28 homers in his 4 seasons in the minors, covering 379.1 innings. Lastly, Honorary DVD member Eric Hurley has allowed 69 homers in his 5 years in the minors covering some 580.1 innings, but only 5 in the majors, but those 5 have come in only 24 innings.
Feliz strikes out alot of batters, allows very few hits, and extremely few home runs. He walks some people. that can change.

saying stuff that you know people disagree with isn't cute
it’s just annoying

I figured as much
But I was trying to steer the conversation away from going there.

Why?
I’d be proud of that thing if I was him. I’m sure he doesn’t mind.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
Got to ask
Out of all the pictures you took yesterday, how many were them in the direction of one Chris Davis…?

I posted a link to my photos
in the “Opening Day Photos Thread.” I actually showed a lot of restraint.

he has the occasional nugget
but he’s definitely not infallible

hes entertaining enough
you need some personalities for a show that has mostly the same guys talking over games all night every night.
the preceding post was a great success.
definitely
the a’s infield defense is pretty good if chavez is anywhere near his old form though.
if kinsler plays as well as I expect him too the rangers overall defense should be pretty good.. hamilton in CF isn’t bad enough to drag the whole thing down.
the preceding post was a great success.
And unlike the As
who absolutely need their bats in the OF, the Rangers can eventually put Byrd or Borbon in CF and the offense can probably still chug along.
This year probably not.
Though Hamilton in center will probably make it closer than it should be.
Holliday is really good, Cust sucks, I don’t actually know anything about Sweeney and don’t feel like looking it up.
Hm.
Even as bad as Cust is, while I’d bet on our defense in the outfield this year, I probably wouldn’t guarantee it.
this A's game
This is really weird to watch. I just want everybody to do badly. And oddly enough, I feel like they all are. Nobody is impressing me. I must be bias or something

i want the a's to lose all their hype fast
i cant ebleieve how positive the analysis is. yes they helped their lineup, but when you were dead last in 08 a turnaround gets you to “solid” territory, its not like they are great. and the rotation is about as unproven as possible.
but as ive said a few times, since I don’t believe they will be winning 90 games or anything I do want them to win every game against the angels they can.
the preceding post was a great success.
Whoah, how many people have them winning 90 games?!
That’s probably insane.
I think they’re about solid or a little better (and that being good enough to win this division), and I thought I was in the consensus. If 90 wins is being thrown around, though. . .
Well I've seem them picked quite a few times to win the division
I guess that may be at 85 games instead of 90, though I think the angels winning less than 88-89 is really really optimistic.
the preceding post was a great success.
Really?
I think the were an 85 second-order win team last year (setting a record for number of flukey wins). They’ve now lost Teixeira and have injuries to their top pitchers. Teams that overperform tend to regress, anyway, and they’ve gotten a little bit older, lost an elite player and have an injured rotation.
I think 88-89 wins would be optimistic from an Angels fan.
if they were all out for the year, yeah.
but nothing ive ready suggests they shouldn’t be able to pitch effectively at least by june.
hey, i hope they lose 100, but if their pitching comes back they should be really good from that point forward.. and i can seem them holding it together until then.
the preceding post was a great success.
Even if they weren't out of the year. . .
. . . I probably would be relatively surprised if they hit 88-89. I think they’re only going to cost the team a handful of wins. But I think they’re an 85-86 win team with them, so. . .
well, i hope you are right.
but they still look pretty good to me.
the preceding post was a great success.
Cahill should be done.
Zero control but limits the damage to 3 runs through five.
