So what is salty's value now?

[DSheppard]

now that hes an everyday player in texas.

and a lefty (well switch hitter.. but lefty most of the time) in arlington.

I just dropped Ramon Hernandez for him in my points league

[Gwyddbwyll]

Thinking about dropping John Buck for him.. is that a no-brainer?

[RyeWhiskey]

I'd take salty after the top 4 Cs: VMart, Martin, Mauer, and Piazza. After these guys I'd plug Salty into my lineup.

[rookies and cream]

I think you're forgetting Posada, who's actually been the 3rd best C this year (so far).

[CBMGreatOne]

And McCann also. He's a top 7 or 8 catcher no doubt. If you're using someone like Bengie Molina, Yorvit Torrealba, or Johnny Estrada right now, you're gonna want to hop on the Salty bandwagon very quickly.

Yes

[vladrules]

Is he better than Barrett for the rest of the year?

If Barrett were still in Chicago, I'd say it would have been a wash. With Barrett splitting time with Bard in SD, I'd say he's MUCH better. Not to get off topic but I wonder if Michael Barrett has any ties to Tim Donaghy. Look how dominant Carlos Z has been since he's been shipped out, run shaving? (I know I'm only kidding)

martin
martinez
mauer
posada
mccann
rodriguez
Piazza

then theres the catchers like johjima, varitek,estrada,molina,buck, barrett that you have to decide who is better
