"I definitely love closing," Wilhelmsen said Wednesday from his home in Tucson, Ariz. "I feel comfortable in that role. Ultimately, I'm trying to be that. But Tolleson did a great job and he's coming back, so I'd be happy to set him up or help the team any way I can."
The Rangers want as much bullpen depth as possible, which is why they acquired Wilhelmsen from the Mariners on Nov. 16 -- along with outfielder James Jones and infielder Patrick Kivlehan -- for outfielder Leonys Martin and pitcher Anthony Bass.
