I'm curious to see if the Ranger look at offers for Torrealba. He's a starting quality catcher. Just depends on how many games they want Napoli to catch I guess.

Yeah, trading Torrealba was something I thought of during the playoffs actually. Thought that if he wasn't good enough to depend on in multiple pinch-hit situations where Wash used someone else instead of him, does he have a role on this team next year with Napoli obviously scheduled to get the lion's share of games behind the plate. You still need a dependable backup catcher in case Napoli goes down and Torrealba provides great insurance, but another quality bullpen arm or, as someone previously suggested, a RH utility outfielder (preferably with some pop) could prove quite useful.
Wonder what Torrealba could net us...
