Jon Matlack was a three-time All-Star with the New York Mets but was still an effective Starting Pitcher when he arrived in Texas.  Matlack would alternate between starting and the bullpen in the last few years of his career, and posted a 43-45 Record with 493 Strikeouts as.a Ranger.

Bump Wills played his first five years of professional baseball with the Texas Rangers where the son of Maury Wills continued his father’s legacy of stealing bases and to this day still holds the single season record for Stolen Bases (52) for the team.  Wills was not much of a slugger but made up for it with above average defense at Second Base.

Rick Heiing began his career with the Texas Rangers, mostly in the bullpen, and was largely forgotten after being traded to Florida.  A year later, he was traded back, and it would be far more memorable.In his second stint with Texas, Heiling would enjoy a season (1998) where he would win 20 games and lead the American League in that category.  Heiling would however give up a lot of Home Runs, but overall was a winning pitcher for Texas with a 68 and 51 record.  Coincidentally, he was with the Marlins again in 2003 when they won the World Series.

Martin Perez began his career with the Rangers, first signing as an Amateur Free Agent from Venezuela in 2007.  The Pitcher first cracked the Majors in 2012, and for the next seven years, it always felt like Perez was struggling to fight or keep a spot on the backend of the Rangers rotation.  In that time frame, Perez managed three 10-Win years, but only had one year where he had an ERA under four and/or a WHIP under 1.4 (2013).  After an abysmal 2018 (2-7, 6.22 ERA), Perez left as a Free Agent for Minnesota, and after three years, he returned to Texas…

On the surface, 104 Wins and 1,818 Strikeouts should gain Bobby Witt a much higher rank.  He had a 17-10 1990 season that would see him finish second in Strikeouts in the American League so certainly his positioning on the greatest Texas Rangers of all-time should be higher right?

Spending his first seven seasons in MLB with the Texas Rangers, C.J. Wilson’s best year with Texas was his final one.  That year he made his first Al- Star Game and finished 6th in Cy Young voting.  Wilson was used primarily as a reliever (and did well with 52 Saves) but his conversion to the starting rotation has proven to be his calling.

A ten year veteran with the then Washington Senators, Ed Brinkman proved to be a decent Shortstop in the American League.  Brinkman would have better individual seasons elsewhere, but his greatest tenure was with the Senators where he would flash his defensive prowess by leading the American League in Defensive bWAR twice.

Having the best seasons of his career as a member of the Washington Senators, Dick Bosman would lead the American League in Earned Run Average in 1969 and would also lead the AL in the now sabremetric stat of ERA+.  While Bosman would have a losing record in Washington his sabremetrics were still strong.

Spending the first half of his career with the Texas Rangers Francisco Cordero proved to be one of the best Relief Pitchers in MLB.  The seven-year MLB veteran would become an All-Star in 2004 when he accumulated 49 Saves.
