Not really. He gave up an ER in 1/3 in his first game, since then he has 2 app. 2 ip, 4 k's, 0 hits

I still don't understand what the hell Texas is trying to do. They keep saying they haven't given up on him as a starter, and everyone wants him a starter, but then.... this?

C.J. Wilson did well, very well, in his first start but I don't get it.

The Rangers are going to find themselves in a pinch when they do move him to SP and the fans raise hell because they remember just how dominant he was as a RP.

Stunting his growth, if you ask me. They should be bringing him along the same way they're bringing along Holland.

Good for my fantasy team at least if he does well

I have Mike Gonzalez & Frank Francisco as my closers on my fantasy team. ::facepalm::


(also have wagner & nunez, but still, it hurts when your SP is decent, then your bullpen blows up the agregate)

All of the local reports are that Washington is saying this is temporary and that Francisco will return as closer.

As much as I would love to see him start, I think he would be an excellent permanent closer. He is by far the most dominating pitcher on the rangers and unfortunately at this time in his career falls apart after a bad pitch or 2. I think using him as a closer may be whats best for him and the rangers in the short term.
