Max Ramirez recalled, Taylor Teagarden optioned
by Adam J. Morris on Apr 27, 2010 6:05 PM CDT
Email
PrintTeagarden has been terrible, but Max Ramirez isn't hitting in AAA.
I am wondering if this is short-term, or if the Rangers don't expect Jarrod Saltalamacchia back anytime soon.
ANOTHER UPDATE -- Evan Grant says the decision to option Salty was driven in part because it means that he can't come up for at least 10 days, and the team wants him focusing on getting his work done in AAA, and not worrying about when he's getting called back up. That is...interesting.

Hey!!
I am glad to hear this!! Way to go JD. And I hope Tea gets a new swing while he is there because he could be a good ML catcher.

I'm sorry AceJC, your boy is gone :(
Hopefully he figures out what the hell is wrong with that swing, he can’t be THAT BAD.
I'm straight for Heidi Richardson.
I have no one to blame but myself.
I feel like I’m at the track and just saw the horse I bet 100 bucks on come in last place. By 40 lengths. Then snaps his leg two steps after the finish line. As the jockey gets thrown off and smashes his head against the rail.
I hope somewhere along the line Tea can show something. Ugh.

I think a better analogy would be...
that you bet your $100, and when the horses break the gate your pick seems to have no clue how to run.

it is something along those lines.

This DOES seem to be a major message
The idea that he’s just marking time before his callup screams “entitlement” to me. I think it was JW that mentioned that coming out of ST.

What I observed about Salty at ST was that he seemed to walk around
like he owned the place while Treanor & TT both kept their heads down and tried not to break the eggshells they were stepping on.I know nothing and have heard nothing about how the organization felt about him but it was an observation.
The fact that the FO wasn’t happy he left Winter Ball early, made it publicly known that he appeared “sluggish” at their pitching camp in January and that the catcher’s job in 2010 was up for competition plus ripped his ass in the press for not telling them he was hurt on Opening Day…you add all that up and what happened yesterday shouldn’t have been shocking to Salty.

Are they really wanting to Max to back up Treanor? What happened to him not playing catcher any longer?
Can he really be worse that Teagarden has been this year?
I mean, he would have to go fart on the mound constantly while our guys are up there to be worse.
At this point, as long as he doesn’t commit any felonies, we’ll be pretty cool.

He actually had an amazing walk rate last year which gave him a decent OBP.

Ceterum censeo, Ron Washington esse delendam
per evan grant
“Daniels said Saltalamacchia would get the majority of the catching starts at Oklahoma City for the time being. If both he and Teagarden are in the minors for a longer period of time, the Rangers will make a decision about whether to send one down to Frisco to get more playing time.”
So, they would obviously like Salty' to get down to business and be back in a couple of weeks
Meanwhile, if Max does show well, Garko likely gets the boot when Salty’ returns
So Teagarden went from riding the ML bench
to the AAA one.
Like I said in the AM thread
I think this is kinda the same deal as with Smoak/Davis: they feel Max is capable of giving them better AB’s right now than Tea is.
Hard to disagree with that.
Hopefully Max can do something productive while Salty recovers from the yips, or whatever he’s recovering from this time.

Short term?
I am guessing that Salty will be back up in 10 days anyway. They say he is throwing ok, and he sure is hitting! but is striking out too. I think the issue with Max is whether he or Treanor will be the backup for awhile. If Ramirez hits, it will be Salty/Ramirez. If Ramirez doesnt hit, it wont matter, it will be Salty/Treanor or if Tea does well, he might return in a couple months and it could be Salty/Tea especially if Ramirez doesnt hit. It seems all up to Ramirez, now, whether Ramirez will be the backup. At least he is getting a shot for a week, which could turn into a couple months or more…

Not a lot of downside
to this particular panic. Teagarden was giving the team less than nothing offensively and not much defensively.
"No, I'm not a pessimist. At some point the world shits on everybody. Pretending it ain't shit makes you an idiot, not an optimist."-https://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
Pretty much.
In fact I don’t see how this is even a panic move. Teagarden’s worthless and Salty’s broken. What other option did they have?
Yeah is is the absolute
opposite of the definition of panic. Teagarden was brutally bad. Anything, even Max with his struggles so far is vastly superior.
its not a "panic"
its a throw your hands up in the air, i got no other ideas, lets play JJB 30 minutes kind of move.

It's not comparable at all.
Not to take it in a Mavs direction, but that would only apply if Caron was playing at the level of one of the worst players in basketball.
The Rangers had absolutely no other choice with Teagarden other than to send him down. Really, the only fascinating part about this whole thing is their stance with Salty.
in this series: I grade Caron to be slighltly
better than Gerald Green.

Could it really make us "worse"?
It’s hard to be worse than a K in 75% of ABs.
I mean, he could be GIDP every time he was up… so I guess not.
Treanor
He is a real light hitter though. Max had no errors or passed balls in spring training or so far this year until today, and his pitchers are apparently being handled well, because the Redhawks lead their division, and Max has a good OBP
by goodasgoldyesmaam on Apr 27, 2010 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions
"A real light hitter" is an upgrade over Teagarden by quite a bit.
Teagarden is rocking an OPS+ of -35 (100 is average) and has one hit on the year. Treanor has one less game played but seven times as many hits. His OPS of 42 looks like Nelson Cruz compared to Taylor Teagarden.
Agreed
It doesnt matter much to me if it is Salty/Ramirez, Treanor/Ramirez or Salty/Treanor, whatever works best

Tea down/MaxRam up
Has a “send a message” feel. I’ve never been a big fan of the “send a message” approach to motivating professional athletes.
I think it has more of a "Teagarden's been awful both at the plate and behind it" taste to it,
with a soupçon of “Teagarden’s a baseball basket case right now.”

I'd expect a move to the pen for Harrison, not an option to AAA.
We need another lefty besides Oliver in the pen.
Harrison
Holland to replace Harrison in rotation? Then would you send Mathis down or trade Nippert/Francisco?
by goodasgoldyesmaam on Apr 27, 2010 6:25 PM CDT up reply actions
Yes on both Holland and Mathis
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I think Mathis still has options left. We still need two long men because of Harden and Harrison could be valuable in a variety if pen roles.
Mathis
Yes, Mathis has at least one option. Nippert doesnt. I wouldnt mind if the Rangers traded Nippert (average, not real effective, may have trade value and would open a roster spot that is now inflexible because of no options) or Francisco (not as effective as last year and never a top closer and gone after this season anyway, probably, and would open up a roster spot).
If they merely send down Mathis, that would be OK too. He is a little more effective than Nippert though and is more flexible, due to youth and options and the fact that he could start or relieve, esp at AAA.

Matt Treanor will be the Rangers’ primary catcher. Ramirez became the choice because his defense has improved and, said Daniels, the .265 Triple A hitter with no home runs and four RBIs provides a quality at-bat. Ramirez has a .345 on-base percentage.

I don't have a problem with this
…given the options they have. Teagarden has no clue what to do with a baseball bat, and isn’t all that great on defense. If Ramirez’ .345 OBP can translate even to a fucking .200 OBP it will be a giant improvement. And if his defense has gotten better, that’s good.
I assume that once he’s here for a week or two he’ll take over the starters’ job for Treanor. No future there.
I don't think anyone has a problem with these moves.
Each one had to be done and if the reports of Max’s improved defense are accurate we’ll be a lot better off.
