SportsDay's Evan Grant answered questions in a live chat Thursday. Here are some highlights.

Question: Any word about whether the Rangers are going to try to add a catcher?

Evan Grant: I'm not sure there is a difference-maker at catcher that I'd be willing to pay a premium price for. Truth is, there really are only a handful of difference-making catchers out there (and no, I don't believe Jonathan Lucroy is one of them). If I'm Rangers and I'm presented with one big in-season move, I think I'd still pursue a controllable, top-of-the-rotation pitcher over a catcher. If Sonny Gray, Chris Sale, Jose Fernandez or the like are available, there is no question those guys would mean more than adding Lucroy or Derek Norris.

Question: Is late May still target date for Darvish? The way team is playing, seems like they might have the flexibility to give him a little more time.

Evan Grant: He is to throw a live BP session today and then tentatively start a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. If the Rangers take an aggressive path with him, I could see him back as early as May 11 (after 3 rehab starts) or May 16 (after four).

Question: Aside from a few really bad outings, do you think the Rangers' bullpen is rounding into form?

Evan Grant: Faulkner was a disappointment. Wilhelmsen has been a disappointment. Kela's ERA and HRs have been disappointing, but most of his other numbers are right in line with how he started 2015. Right now, the biggest concern for me is an effective second lefty (I'm not sure Alex Claudio is that guy) to reduce some of the burden on Jake Diekman and to get Wilhelmsen right so the Rangers don't have to overwork Kela and Sam Dyson. In short, yeah, the bullpen is disappointing, but there is no reason to think it can't improve significantly and quickly.

Question: How has Profar been playing in the minors? With the way Elvis and Odor are playing, do you you think we'll see Profar before September?

Evan Grant: He enters Thursday hitting .293 with a .412 OBP. I've heard from some evaluators that there is still some concern about his arm strength, but ain't nothing wrong with the bat. My gut tells me this: Either Profar will be part of a big trade for a starting pitcher this summer or, over the winter, the Rangers will pursue a deal with the New York Yankees that would send Andrus there and create a spot for Profar. I don't see him playing a significant role on the 2016 big league team.
