Saltalamacchia would make the most sense, he could learn alot watching Varitek for a year or two.

Yeah the kid's got skills and a sweet upside if he were to be acquired -- I think he'd be a good study.

CMON TIGERS GO AFTER JARROD!!! he is a switch hitting catcher with power! get it done!

They should sign Henry Blanco. No prospects need be traded.

The sox should try a trade that would consist of Clay Buckles

why would texas even consider trading saltalamaccia? the guys a stud. even if they have other catchers couldnt they just move him? is the guy a clubhouse cancer or is texas just being texas

Texas is just being Texas so trade saltalamaccia to the Red Sox!!!!!

Please tell me you're trying to be whimsical, 'cause I'm pretty sure you're thinking of CLAY BUCHHOLZ.............

Hated to see the Braves let Saltalamacchia go in the trade to get Tex. Thought it was a mistake. Boston will be doing themselves a favor if they can aquire him.

This is a good set-up for Tek, Salty and the Sox. Tek coaching Salty a year or two before retiring. Salty learning from the captain and the red sox having a good bat at that position.

Texas desperatley needs pitching help. The Sox could dangle Michael Bowden, Bucholz or Masterson as bait to reel him in.....that is if they want to

texas has 4 catchers that are all mlb-ready or close to mlb ready. taylor teagarden is probably our best catcher out of the bunch, so we're looking to trade the others for pitching depth. it's not that salty is a cancer, it's just that we have a surplus at C and need pitching.
