46. Jose Guzman

A Starting Pitcher for the Rangers for most of his career, Jose Guzman won 66 Games and fanned 715 batters for the team.  Guzman would finish in the top ten in Strikeouts per Nine Innings three times with Texas.

37. Rick Helling

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.

31. Hank Blalock

Spending all but his final season with the Rangers, Hank Blalock was a two-time All-Star and had three consecutive seasons with over 170 Hits.  Blalock would showcase some decent power with 152 Home Runs and was a popular player with the fans.

41. Jeff Russell

A two-time All-Star with the Texas Rangers, Jeff Russell would lead the AL in Saves in the 1989 season and the Relief Pitcher would accumulate 134 Saves for the team.  Russell would be rewarded with the American League Rolaids Relief Award for his ’89 campaign.   The Rangers inducted Russell into their Hall of Fame in 2015.
