Jarrod Saltalamacchia joins PawSox

By
August 2, 2010
The PawSox today added catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia who was acquired by the Boston Red Sox from the Texas Rangers (Oklahoma City) in a trade on Saturday. The 25 year-old began this season with Texas and appeared in two games with the Rangers (1-for-5 with an RBI) before being optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in mid-April. In 63 games with the RedHawks he was hitting .244 with 11 HR & 33 RBI playing 55 games as a catcher and 8 as the DH. In 240 Major League games (47 with Atlanta) and 193 with Texas) he has a career big league average of .251 (199-for-794) with 23 HR & 94 RBI. Originally slected by Atlanta in the first round (#36 overall) of the 2003 June draft he was traded to Texas on July 31, 2007 as part of the deal that sent Mark Teixeira to the Braves. His 2009 season ended when he underwent surgery to correct Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (removal of rib nearing right shoulder) on September 21, 2009. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Jarrod's 14-letter last night is the longest in Major League history.
