Texas Rangers transactions: Sam Huff is officially a major leaguer, as the team has purchased his contract and added him to the active and 40 man rosters, it was announced today. To make room for him on the active roster, the Rangers have optioned Scott Heineman to the Alternate Training Site. The 40 man roster had an open spot so no move was necessary there.
Huff is up because Jose Trevino injured his wrist yesterday, and the Rangers need another catcher besides Jeff Mathis in case something happens. Huff is considered by some to be the top prospect in the Rangers organization, and at a minimum, is one of the top handful of prospects in the organization.
