Max Ramirez recalled, Taylor Teagarden optioned

Wow.

Teagarden 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.

UPDATE -- And apparently, Jarrod Saltalamacchia has been activated from the disabled list and has also been optioned to AAA.

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.
