Second Best Ranger Ever Community Project

Voted Rafael

It was Juan or Raffy, they’re sort of equal in my mind. I think they were both roided up. The tiebreaker to me is that I can’t forgive Juan for loafing it in the field. It seems like a million times I saw him casually jog up to catch a hit on one hop. Rafael was a good first baseman before his knees got all jacked up. Watching Manny these days, Juan was really before his time. Juando being Juando.

Also voted Raffy

Even if he was great because of steroids, he was still great.

My admiration for him has been trashed to hell, but that’s not what I’m voting based on.

I'll go Juan

just because of the way he carried the Rangers in the 96 Playoffs. Literally, one of the best hitting displays I’ve ever seen.

Not a write in vote

but Ruben Sierra should be put on the list at some time in the future.

Igor...

Pudge #1 and Igor #2. They are the main reasons I stayed a Rangers fan after Canseco left when I was a kid. Both put up great #’s while in Arlington.

If A-Rod played here a little longer he would have been #1. As it is I still think he is 3rd.

3rd over Ryan and Young?

I mean what’s your logic there?

Look up his stats...

for the 3 years he was here. That’s my logic.

If you JUST consider on-field accomplishments. . .

. . . I definitely think he has the better argument for third than Ryan does.

I voted Palmeiro

and it was he or Juan because they put up the largest numbers over a longer period, Pudge is in there as well, tough to pick the rangers all time top 3, but those would be mine, pick the order, Ryan was the greatest to ever play for the Rangers, but only a few years, so can’t put in there. Arod is like Ryan, great but not here long enough
