Odds & Ends: Anderson, Rangers, Brew Crew

Another batch of links, served fresh…

• According to WEEI's Rob Bradford, the Red Sox have called up Brian Anderson and plan to start him in right field tonight against the Rangers.  The former White Sox outfielder was acquired in late July for Mark Kotsay.
• T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports the Rangers are "actively looking for catching help on the trade market" with starting backstop Jarrod Saltalamacchia headed for the disabled list.  Arizona's Chris Snyder seems like a good fit, but that's just speculation on our part.
• Brewers GM Doug Melvin told Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he's optimistic a deal will be reached with supplemental first-round pick Kentrail Davis by Monday's deadline.  Davis is an outfielder from the University of Tennessee.
