If the Rangers were willing to give up any of these guys, I'd be more than happy with them for Graves:

Gerald Laird - 25 year old catcher

.302/.382/.524 at AAA 7 HR in 33 G

Estaban German - 26 year old IF

.353/.421/.497 at AAA 12 SBs in 41 games

John Hudgins - 23 year old righty

2-2 3.00 ERA at AAA 39 IP 38 H 31/13 K/W

German would clog up 2B even more, but would be a better option off the bench than Bergolla right now.

Laird would be an upgrade over Valentin, and probably even LaRue (at least offensively)

Hudgins gives you a younger arm that could develop into a low end rotation pitcher, or bullpen arm.
