Jarrod Saltalamacchia quietly raising Fantasy value
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia ended April with a .222 batting average. But as of Wednesday afternoon, he had raised that to .265, thanks to a hot May in which he's hit .313 with two home runs, five doubles, and a .919 OPS. Saltalamacchia's average hasn't been this high since his rookie year, when he hit .266. But you don't add him for his average -- you chase his power. Last year, Saltalamacchia hit 25 home runs in 405 at-bats, which followed a 16-homer season (over 358 at-bats) in 2011. His five this year put him on pace for about 20 home runs, but for Points league players, Saltalama...
May 23, 2013Saltalamacchia more confident from the right side
Red Sox Blog | Providence Journal — By Tim BrittonCHICAGO -- For the second straight night on Wednesday, Jarrod Saltalamacchia started against a left-handed pitcher. That hasn't happened since 2009. That's right: Saltalamacchia hasn't been in the starting lineup for consecutive games against southpaw starters since the Red Sox acquired him. So the chance to actually find some semblance of a rhythm from the right side of the plate -- offered in part because of David Ross' time on the seven-day disabled list -- has proven welcome for Saltalamacchia. "That's something I said during spring training: When I get some at-bats, le...

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out: a Boston Red Sox preview
South Side Sox — Offense: Jacoby Ellsbury-CF, Shane Victorino-RF, Dustin Pedroia-2B, David Ortiz-1B, Mike Napoli-1B, Daniel Nava-LF, Jarrod Saltalamacchia-C, Will Middlebrooks-3B, Stephen Drew-SS. Bench: Ryan Lavarnway-C, Mike Carp-1B/OF, Pedro Ciriaco-INF, Jonny Gomes-OF. Remember before the season how everyone thought Boston and New York would struggle this year? Man, we are all idiots.

The bizarre power spike he showed in 2011 remains an outl...
Chicago White Sox May 20, 2013Jarrod Saltalamacchia could get left behind this week
CBSSports.com Fantasy — At the weak catcher position, you can definitely do worse than Red Sox backstop Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who continues to make up for subpar batting averages with his solid power. The biggest knock against him is the team has made an effort to hide him against lefties all year long, and for good reason; the 28-year-old has a meager .513 on-base plus slugging percentage against them in just 16 at bats. With four left-handed pitchers on the schedule for Week 7 (May 13-19), our Scott White is urging Fantasy owners to sit Salty down in his Hit Parade column. Saltalamacchi will either be out of the ...
