That heavy wind you felt around 1:30 p.m. today was due to the collective exhaling of all keeper league owners of Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Salty strapped on the gear and played his first game behind the plate for the Rangers, assuring owners around the world that he would continue to gain catcher eligibility in the future.
Good move by the Rangers as he is a far more valuable commodity (::cough:: to fantasy owners ::cough::) while behind the plate. Even if he only starts once every 5 games behind the plate, that still equates to 32 games caught per season, which is more than enough to gain eligibility in any league.
Feel safe to acquire / keep Salty from here on out, despite his hitting woes of late. The Rangers have no intentions of ever letting this power-switch hitting talent ever see the minors again.
