Jarrod Saltalamacchia quietly raising Fantasy value
by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer

Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia ended April with a .222 batting average. But as of Wednesday afternoon, he had raised that to .265, thanks to a hot May in which he's hit .313 with two home runs, five doubles, and a .919 OPS.

Saltalamacchia's average hasn't been this high since his rookie year, when he hit .266. But you don't add him for his average -- you chase his power. Last year, Saltalamacchia hit 25 home runs in 405 at-bats, which followed a 16-homer season (over 358 at-bats) in 2011. His five this year put him on pace for about 20 home runs, but for Points league players, Saltalamacchia could also be a nice source of doubles, with 10 so far (good for sixth among catchers). 

His ugly April may have turned some owners off to adding him, but Saltalamacchia's strong May should open some eyes. Owned in 39 percent of leagues, he could make for a nice power source in deeper one-catcher formats.
