I think that it is safe to say that most people expected more out of the Rangers’ catchers than what they delivered this year. I was really impressed by Salty’s defensive improvement, but the offensive numbers for all of the catchers were pretty offensive. At least there is hope that next year will be better because it is hard to imagine that it could get worse.

Great job of keeping up the high quality of Rangers coverage here on Inside Corner, Ryan. Keep reports like these coming and you will help us Inside Cornerians cope with the loss of Evan.

CERA is a stat debunked by many far smarter than I. Otherwise, great article.

Does Salty still have good trade value? He is still young and might could be a big part of a package deal. I don’t mind him being our catcher for a long time – just looking at all options. They would have to sign Pudge or someone else to be a backup to Teagarden and I’m not sure he is ready to be the everyday catcher – at least as a hitter. Any thoughts?
