"The Rangers announced Tuesday that they have acquired catcher/first baseman Mike Napoli from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for pitcher Frank Francisco and cash considerations.

SportsDayDFW's Evan Grant says Napoli has a lot of power, but is not considered a great defensive catcher.

Grant added that Napoli could provide protection in case first baseman Mitch Moreland struggles against lefties and could also be used as a third catcher. If DH Michael Young has to move into the field to play a position, Napoli could then be the DH.

According to a Rangers press release, the 29-year-old Napoli had been acquired by Toronto on January 21 along with outfielder Juan Rivera in a trade that sent outfielder Vernon Wells to the Los Angeles Angels.

The right-handed hitting Napoli batted .238 with 26 homers and 68 RBI in 140 games with the Angels in 2010. He led the Angels in homers and slugging (.468), tied for fourth in doubles, and ranked fifth in RBI. Napoli also batted a team best .305 (43-141) vs. left-handed pitching."
