Ron Washington says that C.J. Wilson will be the primarily 8th inning setup guy. If Wilson isn't available, he'll look to Scott Feldman or Jason Jennings in that role.
Evan Grant ranks the Opening Day roster in order of their importance to the success of the Rangers. He's got Millwood and Padilla 1-2, and my initial reaction was that that was too high, but in thinking about it, it really may not be.
