While Mark Teixeira would become more famous as a New York Yankees, it was as a Texas Ranger where he would first become a baseball star.  He would win his first two Silver Sluggers and Gold Gloves as a Ranger and blasted 153 Home Runs with a .533 Slugging Percentage.

Rusty Greer spent nine seasons in Major League Baseball, all of which were the Texas Rangers.  Greer proved to be a good hitter, batting over .300 five times with a career .305 Batting Average and a very good On Base Percentage of .387.  Greer also had some pop with 119 Home Runs and would also exceed 100 RBIs three times.  The Rangers inducted Greer into their Hall of Fame in 2009.

From the basbeall factory of Japan, Yu Darvish arrived after a specacular career in the Nippon League to the Texas Rangers where he got off to a very good start.  Darvish would be named an All Star in his first three seasons where his best year would be in 2013 where he led the American League in Strikeouts and H/9 and was the second place finisher for the Cy Young.  Tommy John suregery took him out of the 2015 season but he would return in 2016 and in the 2017 season he was named an All Star again, though he…

Ken McMullen was not with the organization when it made its move to Texas, but he did make an impact in his six seasons as a Washington Senator.  McMullen had 709 Hits with 86 Home Runs in Washington but was known more for his defense where he would lead the AL three times in Range Factor per Game by a Third Baseman.

While Kevin Brown was known for what he did after he left the Texas Rangers, he was still a very good Starting Pitcher who was not only an All-Star in 1992, but led the American League in Wins that season.  Brown was known for his efficient play, which was not necessarily appreciated in Arlington.  Brown won 78 Games against 64 Losses with 742 Strikeouts.

Twice an All-Star with the Rangers, Nelson Cruz had five seasons where he belted 20 Home Runs.  Cruz would be named the American League Championship Series MVP in 2011, and over his Rangers career, he had 773 Hits with 157 Home Runs.

A decent hitter, Pete O’Brien spent seven seasons with the Texas Rangers where he would have three 20 Home Runs seasons and three 150 Hit seasons.  O’Brien would smack 114 Home Runs as a Ranger with 914 Hits and a .273 Batting Average.

Corey Seager was the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series hero in 2020. On the same day that the Texas Rangers signed Marcus Semien to be their Second Baseman, they landed Seager, giving them the double-play tandem that few could rival.  Seager had a solid debut campaign for Texas, earning All-Star honors and blasting 33 Home Runs, which was a personal best.  In 2023, Seager put forth 33 Home Runs again but had his best year to date 2ith a league-leading 42 Doubles and career-highs in the Slash Line: .327/.390/.623 and had his first OPS over one (1.012).  Not only was…

The Hall of Fame spitball Pitcher, Gaylord Perry, spent three-and-half-seasons with the Texas Rangers over two tours, the first seeing a run as the club’s ace in the mid-70’s.  Perry had a 48 and 43 record with a 3.26 ERA in Texas and finished in the top five in FIP each year.  Perry was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.

If Joey Gallo is batting, one of three things will likely happen. A Walk, a Strikeout, or a Home Run. Gallo was a First Round Pick in 2012, but it would take three years before he made it to the Rangers, and another two to be a starter.  The Rangers knew he had power, and in 2017 and 2018, he smacked at least 40 Home Runs, though in both years he batted under .210.  Gallo went to the All-Star Game in 2019, though was injured for a large part of it, only appearing in 70 Games, though he did bat .253 with 23…

Adolis Garcia took a while to get going in the Majors, but he had a roar that was rougher than most. From Cuba, Garcia signed with the Yomiyuri Giants in Japan, but that was short-lived as he defected to the United States and signed with the St. Louis Cardinals.  He hardly played in St. Louis, playing only 21 ineffective Games in 2018, and was in the minors for the entirety of 2019.  The Texas Rangers purchased his contract, but 2020 was no better, and he began 2021 as a non-roster invitee.  Not only did Garcia make the team, he thrived.…

Marcus Semien signed with the Texas Rangers after having a monstrous season in his lone campaign (2021) with the Toronto Blue Jays, where he finished third in MVP voting.  The Rangers would not have to wait long to see similar production in their new Second Baseman. Semien had a decent 2022 (26 HR, .733 OPS) and was solid defensively. Last year, Semien went back to a previous level, leading the AL in Runs (122), Hits (185 and bWAR for Position Players (7.4)) with 29 Home Runs and 100 RBIs, and he had his best season defensively regarding his bWAR (2.3). …
