Player Notes
July 5, 2008
C.J. Wilson struck out the side on Saturday on his way to earning his 20th save of the season for the Rangers.

Our View:Wilson has six saves in his last seven appearances during which time he has permitted but a single run thanks to just two walks against eight strikeouts. Like most pitchers, if he throws strikes, he figures to have success.
June 25, 2008
C.J. Wilson allowed a hit and a walk on Wednesday night though neither runner crossed the plate in his 16th save of the season.

Our View:Wilson continues to allow about a runner and a half an inning, though this was his second straight clean outing for a save after two rough outings. For those of you keeping track, Eddie Guardado worked a scoreless eighth in the win.
June 22, 2008
C.J. Wilson earned his 15th save of the season on Sunday as he held the Nationals without a run.

Our View:The Rangers clearly want Wilson to hold off Eddie Guardado for the closers role, and today's outing was a positive outing for Wilson who had been scored on in three of his previous four outings. Guardado hurled a scoreless inning to lower his ERA to 3.55, but Wilson is still in the drivers season.

C.J. Wilson should be the closer for the Rangers if you ask Nolan Ryan, according to the Dallas Morning News. "I think if you look at our organization, he's our closer," Ryan said. "I think you have to continue to run him out there. C.J. is the one most suited to be our closer at this point in time."

Our View:While all of that might be true, it can't be argued that Eddie Guardado, who has been serving as the set up man, is pitching better of late. The team clearly wants Wilson to establish himself, but if he continues to struggle with his control, the team will have to consider going with Guardado, even if it's just a short term fix.
June 19, 2008
For the second time in less than 24 hours, Rangers' closer C.J. Wilson pitched in the ninth inning of a close game and couldn't get the job done. Wilson allowed two runs on two hits, walked one and struck out one. Despite the performance the Rangers were able to secure a 5-4 victory over the Braves on Thursday night.

Our View: On Thursday, Wilson couldn't finish what he started but he was bailed out by a clutch hit from veteran Michael Young. Wilson has struggled this year. His ERA (5.04) is far too excessive for a relief pitcher and his BB/9 ration (4.50) is to blame.
