I was investigating reading of Annotation Classes using the File Geodatabase API, and what I've discovered is this:
1. We can read many of the annotation properties as fields on the Annotation Feature Class.
2. We can read the annotation geometry (the text bounds and the leader line unioned together).
3. We cannot read the text position. It is difficult to place the text using only the geometry from (2).

Is it possible to get the text position (as a point) using the File Geodatabase API (possibly via the ELEMENT blob)?

Annotation is not supported by the File Geodatabase API. The API only supports feature classes (point, multipoint, line, polygon and multipatch) and tables.
