Saltalamacchia tabbed for opener 

Rangers catcher gets nod;

ARLINGTON -- Jarrod Saltalamacchia will be the Rangers' starting catcher on Monday's Opening Day, and Taylor Teagarden will start the second game on Wednesday.

The two will share the position to start the season, but Rangers manager Washington informed Saltalamacchia on Sunday that he will be the starter on Monday when Scott Feldman takes the mound to face the Blue Jays.

"Salty and Teagarden both did a good job in spring," Washington said. "Salty opened up for us last year, but that doesn't mean anything. He'll catch Opening Day, Teagarden will get the next one, and we'll engage both of them. We're a better team if we use both of them. If one steps forward, he steps forward."

Saltalamacchia started 82 games last year and Teagarden started 54. The Rangers haven't had a catcher start over 120 games since Ivan Rodriguez won the American League MVP Award in 1999 while starting 141.

Since then, the most starts in a season by a Rangers catcher is 117 by Rod Barajas in 2005.

No matter what sport "It's All Mental" about playing the game. Many professional Athlete lack the feel or love for the game from time to time. By using the techniques needed the love of the game comes back naturally and it just  enhances these athletes to a higher level of performance beyond their imagination.

The deal comes after talks broke down last month and it appeared Byrnes, who is having the best season of his career, would leave as a free agent.

Byrnes, the ever-hustling team leader, is batting .303 with 17 homers, 64 RBIs, 21 doubles and 28 steals. He is seventh in the NL in hits with 135 and fifth in the league in triples with seven on a young team that has a surprising lead in the NL West.
