Is there another change in closers occurring in the A.L. West? Texas Rangers' manager Ron Washington looks close to removing C.J. Wilson as the team's closer. Look for Eddie Guardado, another lefty, to get the first chance. I wouldn't be surprised to see Guardado rack-up a lot of saves in a brief time. I wouldn't be surprised to see him not do that. In Guardado's favor is a Rangers' bullpen that can't...

But can they handle a potentially imminent closer controversy? After staking sinkerballer...

What's wrong with C.J. Wilson? It's a relatively popular question right now in Texas Rangers fandom. And for good reason. After pitching virtually lights-out baseball through the better part of last summer, and compiling a stellar 2.40 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 60 IP through September 1st (fatigue is likely to blame for his 7.56 ERA and [...]
