Thursday Morning Rangers Notes

A few things out there this morning:

- C.J. Wilson logged 6.1 innings of one-run, five-strikeout, no-walk baseball -- all of which brought his strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last two starts to 15-to-2, after posting only four strikeouts against nine walks in his two starts before his most recent two -- on Wednesday afternoon in a 2-1 series-clinching win, and now ranks ninth among all American League starters in wins above replacement (1.7) thus far this season (Anthony Andro, Fort Worth Star-Telegram)

- Scott Feldman, who was rocked for four runs on eight hits and three walks with one strikeout in 5.2 innings in a Triple-A rehab start on Tuesday, has been having difficulty preventing tiredness in his surgically mended right knee and is apparently not close to returning to the majors; neither is Tommy Hunter, who threw from a mound at 70 percent on Wednesday morning (T.R. Sullivan, MLB.com)

- The Mets' Francisco Rodriguez is reportedly willing to waive his limited no-trade clause (which permits him to block trades to 10 different teams; their identities have not yet been disclosed) and is open to waiving his $17.5 million vesting option for 2012 in exchange for a multi-year extension (Andy Martino, New York Daily News)

[There is obviously a point I want to make on this, but that will have to wait for an hour or three.]
