| June 22, 2008 C.J. Wilson earned his 15th save of the season on Sunday as he held the Nationals without a run. |
| June 20, 2008 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." |
| 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. |
| June 11, 2008 The Rangers are happy with recent work from their relief pitching, namely Eddie Guardado and C.J. Wilson , and plan to continue with the dual effort that is paying dividends, according to MLB.com. |
| June 10, 2008 C.J. Wilson made it interesting on Tuesday night, but he was able to nail down his 12th save. The southpaw got out the first two hitters before allowing a single and watching Jose Guillen reach on an error. Wilson struck out Mark Teahen to end the proceedings. |
| May 22, 2008 Rangers closer C.J. Wilson is going to be listed as the team's closer tomorrow, but the days after might bring change, according to Sports Xchange. |
| May 21, 2008 C.J. Wilson has been performing poorly, but is still the Rangers' closer, according to FanNation.com. Manager Ron Washington said he would give the ball to Wilson in the team's next save situation, but didn't commit past that. |
| May 20, 2008 The Dallas Morning News reports that C.J. Wilson has been awful in May, and his poor form continued Monday with a blown save at Minnesota. |
| May 19, 2008 C.J. Wilson blew his second save of the season on Monday night as he allowed one hit, two walks and a run in his lone inning on the hill. |
| May 14, 2008 Manager Ron Washington confirms that C.J. Wilson is still the Rangers closer. Eddie Guardado shut the door on Tuesday night. "I said in Spring Training that Eddie would get some opportunities to save ballgames," Washington tells MLB.com. "That might be a week from now, or it might be four or five days from now. I'm glad to have him. The situation is going to dictate. If C.J. can't go, Eddie is going to get the ball." |
| May 14, 2008 C.J. Wilson has struggled in his last two outings (six runs, 1.2 innings), but he isn't worried. "It's not really anything I'm concerned about from a pitching standpoint at all," he tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "Every once in a while you get some really lucky breaks that go against you." Eddie Guardado got a save in Wilson's place on Tuesday. |
| April 20, 2008 C.J. Wilson suffered a blown save and was the pitcher of record in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox. The left-hander failed to record an out, allowed two hits, two runs and walked three in an appearance that cost Kevin Millwood and the Rangers a win on Sunday. |
| April 10, 2008 C.J. Wilson worked a perfect ninth for his second save of the season. The Rangers closer has pitched three innings on the year and has yet to strike out a hitter. |
| March 26, 2008 The Texas Rangers have decided on C.J. Wilson as their primary closer for opening day, according to MLB.com. "C.J. Wilson is going to be our closer," manager Ron Washington said before the Rangers' game against the Mariners on Tuesday night. Wilson was the Rangers' closer of choice for the final two months of last season and was 12-for-14 in save opportunities, yet Washington refused to anoint him closer and insisted for most of the spring that the job was open. That speculation ended today. "It's down to the point where he's shown me enough and that he's healthy," Washington said. "I just didn't want anybody taking anything for granted. He's thrown the ball well. He's the obvious choice." |
| March 12, 2008 C.J. Wilson threw a bullpen session Wednesday for the second straight day and is slated to pitch in a minor league game Saturday, according to the Dallas Morning News. Wilson is coming back from a bout with biceps tendinitis. He is the front-runner for the closing job but will need to prove that he's healthy. |
| March 11, 2008 C.J. Wilson threw a bullpen session on Tuesday for the first time since being hit with a case of biceps tendinitis on March 1, according to the Star Telegram. He could reportedly returned to the mound this weekend. |
| March 9, 2008 C.J. Wilson plans to toss a bullpen session in the next few days and maybe another one before getting into game action, according to the Dallas Morning News. He's been out with biceps tendinitis but is expected to be ready for opening day, barring a setback. |
| March 6, 2008 Rangers' closer C.J. Wilson is suffering from bicep tendonitis, according to the Dallas News. Wilson, who and has not pitched since last week, is considered day-to-day and has no definitive timetable for a return. If Wilson could not open the regular season as the primary ninth inning option, Eddie Guardado would get the call to close. |
| February 26, 2008 C.J. Wilson is taking heat from his teammates for comments he made about them in a recent ESPN.com article and in a Rangers-related blog, according to the Dallas Morning News. In the ESPN.com article, Wilson made remarks about their indifference to the presidential election. Part of his blog post went like this: "Come on man you have to admit the median or average guy in a baseball clubhouse does drive an SUV, drinks beer, golfs, likes college sports, chews or dips tobacco and is relatively a [expletive]." Michael Young addressed Wilson personally, saying, "I had a very direct talk with him." GM Jon Daniels, added, "I've spoken to him about his blogging in the past using good judgment, what's appropriate and what's not but not about this specifically. My understanding is the players are handling it themselves." Not the best way to endear yourself to your teammates. Wilson signed a one-year deal on Tuesday that will pay him $417,000. |
| February 26, 2008 C.J. Wilson said Tuesday that he's signed a contract for the upcoming season, according to the Dallas Morning News. The Rangers' current closer will make about $417,000, plus he'd get a $10,000 bonus if he manages to make the All-Star team. |
| February 10, 2008 C.J. Wilson hopes to be able to hold on to the closer role this season, and the best way to do that may be for him to control the strikezone after throwing far too many pitches in some outings last season. He also needs to hold off Eddie Guardado who was recently added to the team. Wilson had a solid '07 season with 12 saves and 63 K in 68.1 IP, but he averaged 17.6 pitches per inning in his 14 saves chances, and the team would like to see him cut that total by about two pitches and inning if possible.
