Jarrod Saltalamacchia (C, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two Catcher Leagues

OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Jarrod Saltalamacchia's ownership has definitely skyrocketed this past week, and it would be a surprise if he were still available in leagues of more than 12 teams and those rostering two catchers. What I'm banking on is that fantasy owners are worried about his role once James McCann returns. The way McCann had been swinging the bat prior to being sidelined with a right ankle sprain provides no reason why Salty's at bats won't remain steady.

Looking at it in the short term, Saltalamacchia should have been grabbed yesterday. Despite being bounced around in his career, he's always had power, hitting 25 home runs for the Boston Red Sox in 2012. Saltalamacchia has already gone deep five times, and has maintained an impressive OBP of .405. He's a plug in now, worry about later type of add.
