quick guesses
shitty hitters that got a lot of playing time off the top of my head:
Varitek, Bourn, Pena (KC SS), Lamb, Fukudome
"So he tore it up in AA. Yippee. ...Max Ramirez be damned." - bigsteve
Is this on the Rangers, or in all of MLB?
Also, does this mean the most games in which they went 0-fer, or the most games played without getting a single hit all season?

In all of MLB
And the most games in which they went 0-fer.

my guesses
Nick Swisher, Kevin Millar, Jeff Francouer, Bobby Crosby, Mark Reynolds
I figure guys
that K a lot.
Pena(Tam), Howard, Cust, Uggla, Dunn.
he’s still hitting better than Saltalasuckia—while playing vastly superior defense...Athos
hmmm
Dunn, Varitek, Bobby Crosby, Mark Reynolds, Mark Teahan
"He wont have anything. 1 man, 0 tools."~ hiafex bout longhorn...
Ryan Howard
Jason Varitek
Tony Pena Jr
JR Towles (long shot choice since he only played 54 games, but he only had hits in 20 of those games so he might just qualify)
And… uhh… Daric Baton.

On second thought
I’d like to revise mine. Forget Towles and add Jeff Francouer.
"M’s fans are such weenies." - Zywica
Ill take a stab at it
Swisher, Francouer, Cano, Howard, Murphy
I am the motherfucking shore patrol, motherfucker! I am the motherfucking shore patrol! Give this man a beer.
And now I see you weren't the first one to mention him...
Damn, I need more coffee.

Actually
It sounds more like you could use some Red Bull. Or an electric stun gun.

High Five
Wes Helms, So Taguchi, Mark Sweeney, Tony Clark, Eric Bruntlett
I’m guessing the defensive replacement is gonna be a big player in this question

I stole no one from above...
though Pena, Varitek and Swisher were all appealing. Especially Varitek considering AJM’s recent posts.
"They shouldn't throw at me. I'm the father of five or six kids."
-Tito Fuentes, after getting hit by a pitch.
winner should get a free book.

Billy Butler, Jeff Fanceour, Richie Sexson, Andruw Jones, Corey Patterson.
Nothing pithy here. Please move long.
lets give it a try
Barton
Swisher
Konerko
Pena Jr
Francouer
In reference to how good the Steelers have been in their history: "No one is even close to them."- Steal Home
I got two...
and they were the top two (Sweeney and Clark)! I can’t believe Wes Helms wasn’t in the top 5. That guy is an 0-fer waiting to happen.
