Player Notes
August 11, 2008
C.J. Wilson is going to have season-ending surgery on his ailing left elbow this week, according to MLB.com. Wilson made the decision after further tests revealed he was dealing with both bone spurs and bone chips in the elbow. There are no muscular issues that would keep Wilson out for an extended period of time, meaning he should be ready for Spring Training. Wilson said, "I'm really looking forward to next year, that's the biggest thing. This year I have been handicapped the whole time. I probably should have had this done at the end of last year. I drove the wheels off that car and now it's time to get a new one."

Our View:Wilson racked up 24 saves this season, but held a 13.00 ERA over his last 11 outings before landing on the DL. Eddie Guardado is currently working as the closer in Texas.

C.J. Wilson has a bone spur in his elbow but if he can pitch through the discomfort he should be able to put off surgery until the off-season, according to the Dallas Morning News. "I don't think it's a black-or-white situation and that's why we are going to have more discussion," assistant GM Thad Levine said. "Both doctors felt with an injection and rehab, he could pitch again this season.

Our View:Given Wilson's struggles of late, if there is any concern over his long term outlook we would figure that Wilson might be shut down. Still, this medical report seems to say that he could return in a couple of weeks, though his effectiveness may still be hampered.

C.J. Wilson is bound for the 15-day DL due to bone spurs in his left elbow, according to the AP. Wilson will visit with Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles to discuss the possibility of surgery. The Rangers will activate Joaquin Benoit from the DL to take Wilson's place on the roster.

Our View:Wilson nailed down 24 saves with Texas, but held a poor 6.02 ERA and 1.64 WHIP. Eddie Guardado is expected to take over the closer's role while Wilson is on the shelf.
August 4, 2008
C.J. Wilson will remain the Texas Rangers closer, despite his recent struggles and the fact he may not be completely healthy, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Our View:Wilson has been erratic as the Rangers closer, and sports a 5.28 ERA and 1.59 WHIP. The situation could change at anytime should Wilson continue to falter.
August 1, 2008
C.J. Wilson had another in a series of unsuccessful outings as he allowed two runs, though the Rangers offense bailed him out in the bottom of the ninth inning to earn Wilson his second victory of the season.

Our View:Wilson owns a 5.28 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP, numbers that dwarf those of Eddie Guardado (3.24 ERA, 0.96 WHIP). Kind of makes you wonder why Wilson continues to close doesn't it?
