Remember Shelton from that April in '06? Now he's got a chance of playing in Texas. He's really not a bad option backing up first and DHing. I don't like the fact they are thinking about starting Salty in AAA.The Rangers will announce Thursday that they've acquired Chris Shelton from the Tigers for Freddy Guzman.
Shelton finally catches a break, as he's going to a very good situation in Texas. The Rockies will likely sign a first baseman, but it could be a left-handed hitter (maybe Mike Lamb) that he'd get a chance to platoon with. He'd also be a backup option as a DH.
