Salmon activated

The Angels activated Tim Salmon after last night's heart-breaking loss to the Brewers. He should be in the lineup at DH tonight. To make room Robb Quinlan was optioned to AAA Salt Lake. It makes sense, because obviously a backup first basemen/outfielder who can hit doesn't have nearly as much value as a (relatively) speedy third catcher. Right Mike?

It's good to see Tim back, but I suppose this means that DaVanon is no longer an everyday player. It's a shame. I'd say it's almost a certainty now that Jeff DaVanon will be dealt as part of a package for pitching sometime in the not-to-distant future. Possibly the BlueJays for Ted Lilly?

In related news, Raul Mondesi reiterated that he doesn't want to become a problem, but stopped short of saying he would accept a place on the bench. This should be good.
