The Spanish Division de Honor club FC Barcelona is going to introduce Jose Luis Salazar as new catcher this Thursday. The 36-year-old is coming from Catalonian rival and reigning champion CB Sant Boi to Montjuic. Prior in his Spanish career he played in Tenerife for Rojos and the Marlins. He is going to replace Orlando Diaz, who has left the FC Barcelona. Salazar batted .392 (OBP .403/SLG .500) with one homerun, a triple, eight doubles, 23 runs scored and 17 RBI in 33 games (30 starts) this year. He threw out eleven of 31 base runners during steal attempts. He is the fourth new player for Barcelona this offseason after Jorge Balboa, Jose Luis Riera and Pau Sancho.
