Cliff Lee

I imagine he meant

Justin Duchscherer, who got some votes to be the AL starter in this survey.

Because the two former Rangers that are starters on that list are Volquez and A-Rod

I'll have to admit

my ignorance on that one… of course I didn’t really start hardcore following the Rangers until 2005.
