For those pointing to next year

[Rangers]

I'm interested in making a couple of deals.

1. I have Jody Gerut (.288/.366/.405 in 153 AB) and Mark Kotsay (.294/.344/.435 in 170 AB) and figure to only need one next season, so if you have a reasonably useful position player who is active and not on the DL at the moment that you'd deal for one of them, let me know. I'd just like to have an active guy since Gerut is not in the DB this year and Kotsay is still a few days from returning from the DL.

2. I would like to deal an upper level pitcher for an upper level catcher (preferably but not absolutely necessarily in the DB). I have the following pitchers:

Scott Feldman
Edwin Jackson
Matt Torra
Vince Mazzaro
Chaz Roe
Aneury Rodriguez
Edward Cegarra

Mark Melancon
Josh Rupe
Jose Ascanio
Chris Smith
Ryan Reid

If you'd prefer Dan Murphy or Luke Hughes, they'd be available as well.
