40. Jon Matlack

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.

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.
