Kevin Cash Placed On The Disabled List, Jarrod Saltalamacchia Called Up

PrintRejoice, Red Sox fans. Our long "national" nightmare is over.
Kevin Cash will be moved to the disabled list with a hamstring injury, opening up room for the promotion of Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
While it may have been preferable to keep working on Saltalamacchia in the minors, it can hardly be said that Kevin Cash was an acceptable backup catcher in any way, and few around here will be sad to see him and his .148/.233/.167 batting line go.
Saltalamacchia, acquired at the trade deadline for Roman Mendez and Chris McGuiness from Texas, is a one-time top prospect who has struggled upon promotion to the major leagues to a career line of .250/.313/.388. Since joining the Red Sox, Salty has managed only a .238/.304/.381 line in five games in Triple-A Pawtucket.

Who knew that just plain sucking was actually bad for your health?
Take your time and rest easy Cash.
Glad to see Salty up, even if he blows, he’ll still OPS .200-.300 higher than Cash, which is a huge step up considering the uncertainty regarding 1B.
This is a time to prove yourself Jarrod, don’t mess it up.

This makes me happy.
Every time I saw Cash in the lineup it made me question so many things in my life. Last week I considered becoming a jehovahs witness.
Goodbye Cash, Hello Salty
Salty was a pretty good hitter for the Rangers. This will defintely help with Tek out another week. Will be interesting to see what happens when Tek is healthy.
By then will be Spt 1
No worries

Are they sure it's Cash's hamstring?
I mean, I would have expected a bronchial infection or a strained diaphragm, what with all the sucking he’s been doing.

Francona just said on WEEI
Halls at second, Kalish in left.
Justification for sitting Lowrie is that he will be playing short on thursday for the day game, and he doesnt want him to start lagging due to the mono.
So
that means Hall at 2b two days in a row?
puke

I'm already planning a party
there’ll be streamers and cake and everything.
Actually there’ll probably just be beer and an expensive night at Fenway.
I'd take that over streamers and cake anyday

This is the best move for the sox, but maybe not Salt.
As long as Cash isn’t playing, it’s good. Who knows, maybe he’ll just start raking.

The most amusing part of all this will be seeing
How the Sox’s uniform people deal with fitting “Saltalamacchia” on the back of his uniform.
(They can consider it a warm-up for when Schwindenhammer gets called up.)

Hmm, apparently fitting the name on may not be such a big deal after all.
Josh Beckett was apparently joking earlier today that he’d use Salty as a shield if they get in a fight like the Cards and Reds.

Jeeze - catchers that can hit are just so freakin' rare right now
A search for Catchers with > 250 PAs so far this year who have an OPS of > .750 turns up just 9 guys in all of baseball!
And only 4 in the AL (Mauer, Buck, V-Mart & Jaso).
