Texas Catcher has Giant Honor Bestowed

In what would turn out to be a bitter sweet day, Texas Rangers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia received a bit of good news following the bad bit he received upon hearing that he made it to the disabled list. "I was sitting on the trainer's table when my cell phone rang, it was my agent" said the beat up backstop. "To have an award named after me at such a young age is quite the honor." The award the journeyman catcher is referring to is the "Salty", an award given out in the Backstop Boys Fantasy Baseball League. In what turned out to be a draft day memory that shall live forever in infamy, Saltalamacchia was drafted by Nacho Daddy in the first 5 rounds, all despite the fact that he was the signal caller for the Rangers AAA affiliate. "I'm pretty pumped, I heard some retard (beefeater 2.0) drafted Eric Byrnes in the 3rd that year and he tore both of his hamstrings." The award is the brain-child of a brilliant man who blames his early hair loss on the fact that the only realization his head could make based upon the wisdom it houses is that any man with such cranial capacity must be infinitely old and should resemble such. (The award creator was contacted but refused comment due to being absolutely humble when dealing with his wonderful idea.) Each year, a "Salty" will be voted on by the members of the league and a plaque/trophy which will be unveiled later will be given to the lucky GM who selected the newly annointed. The purpose of the award is to find the highest/most disappointing pick of a draft. Please vote for 2009's "Salty" award winner to the right.
