Rangers pursue Wilson, high on Buehrle

Free-agent pitcher C.J. Wilson stated his agent, Bob Garber, is likely to have dinner with Rangers gm Jon Daniels on Tuesday evening in the Winter Conferences.

Texas is anticipated to help with its best effort to re-sign Wilson, that has been the club's Pitcher of the season on two straight American League West championship teams.

"I understand J.D. will have dinner with Bob tonight," Wilson stated by telephone Tuesday mid-day. "So far as I understand, the teams which have been thinking about me continue to be thinking about me. I'm not sure contrary has transformed beyond that."

The Rangers still appear at first sight thinking about re-signing Wilson. They still state that they wish to add a minumum of one beginning pitcher this winter. When not Wilson, then it may be Mark Buehrle, who on Tuesday mid-day incorporated the Rangers one of the five teams he's still thinking about. Texas may also turn its focus on Roy Oswalt, but Wilson remains the club's first choice.

We all know what C.J. is able to do,Inch Rangers leader Nolan Ryan stated. "We honestly think in C.J. He's a tough-working guy who'll keep the team inside a ballgame. He's a competitor. We are more acquainted with him than anybody. As we not have the chance to re-sign him, we'll discuss other options."

The Angels are pushing hard for Wilson and met with Garber on Monday evening. The Marlins remain interested despite the fact that they have signed shortstop Jose Reyes and closer Heath Bell, and therefore are pushing difficult on Albert Pujols. The Yankees, Red-colored Sox and Excellent also have proven some interest to some degree, there might be other teams involved.

Wilson stated he's attempting to avoid it whenever possible and let Garber perform the heavy-lifting.

"It is a strange enough process to reside it, not to mention find out about it or pay attention to others discuss it," Wilson stated. "I am just centered on my body system and my arm and becoming ready for the coming year. I am in order to a fitness center now I am centered on my normal routine.

"You just need to wait and find out how the procedure goes. You cannot say this will happen or that's going to take place. You need to wait and find out what teams are actually serious."

This is actually the very first time Wilson is a free agent.

"There's nothing anybody stated that may have prepared me for that process," Wilson stated. "There is nothing anybody stated which was 100 % accurate. It is simply different. The only real guy who provided helpful advice was my agent. Bob explained to become patient. He stated, 'When it comes down lower to some decision, I'll provide you with the options and also you decide.AInch

Wilson was 16-7 having a 2.94 ERA in 34 begins and 223 innings for that Rangers this year. It had been his second year like a starter and that he was 15-8 having a 3.38 ERA in 33 begins on their behalf this year.

"He brings professionalism," Rangers manager Ron Washington stated. "He's a man that's very versatile, he takes the ball each day. But like I stated, the signing of C.J. is really a process. You do not get this chance that frequently like a player -- where one can go available making yourself available. You need to allow the process engage in, and also at the finish during the day, I believe your decision will come lower to where C.J. really wants to be."

Period of contract might be a significant obstacle for that Rangers, if Wilson gets five and six-year deals using their company clubs. Texas has proven a desire not to go that lengthy with pitchers previously.

"It's difficult to express, it is dependent in the way the contract is structured and what type of cash is involved," Ryan stated. "It's difficult to take a position without searching in internet marketing. If something is within good interests, we'll discuss it."

If Wilson goes elsewhere, the Rangers will still pursue Buehrle. Club authorities have managed to get obvious the Rangers are curious about the veteran left-hander. Oswalt is yet another possibility, Ryan acknowledged.

"They're veterans who may have had great careers," Ryan stated Monday morning. "Nearly every pitching staff can use among individuals men. You appear at Buehrle, and that he includes a history. Same goes with Oswalt."

The Rangers have managed to get obvious that like Buehrle, who definitely are 33 on Opening Day and was 13-9 having a 3.59 ERA in 31 begins and 205 innings for that Whitened Sox this past year. It marked the eleventh straight season he's pitched a minimum of 200 innings and won a minimum of 10 games. He isn't the overpowering pitcher usually connected having a top-of-the-rotation guy, however the Rangers are attracted by his sturdiness, experience and capability to eat innings. He's never been in those with disability list.

Oswalt is really a different story. He is a obvious No. 1 starter previously, winning 20 games for that Astros both in 2004 and '05. But he's been coping with stylish and back discomfort in the last six years. He's been in those with disability three occasions previously three seasons and five occasions forever of '06.

"You need to consider Roy's back and also the challenges he's been on his career," Ryan stated. "It's been persistent, and contains been consistent. The truth that Buehrle continues to be healthy coupled with the workload he'd, you need to look on that positively."

Oswalt can also be symbolized by Garber. Probably Wilson and Buehrle will sign before Oswalt, who some clubs may think about a fallback target.
