Jarrod Saltalamacchia

[KB21]

Wow!

6'4",220 lbs....switch hitter with power from both sides of the plate.

He's got as good of a swing as I've seen on a young prospect, and his hands are incredibly quick. He gets the bat through the zone with full extension.

I'm anxious to see this guy continue to develop. He will be at the Braves AA affiliate in Pearl, MS, this season, and I hope he is there when I come home in July so I will get the opportunity to see him play before he gets to the show.

This guy looks like he has the potential to be a great, great hitter in the majors. I'm highly impressed, probably moreso than I was with Jeff Francoeur.

He is the number 1 prospect in the organization. He is the first name in all trade discussions, but so far the Braves have refused. I am looking forward to seeing what he can do, and see if the team not give in and trade him.

I love this guy! Hope they dont trade him. He is 20 and the starter McCann is 21. They can share time next year or Jarrod might just play this season if McCann gets hurt. They can play together for a long time.

Salty is definitely a beast from what I've read on him. He's currently rated the 18th best prospect in the minors and might move to 1st only because we already have a great C in McCann.
