Just an interesting thing I was thinking about. Can't think many other teams could field
a better overall ex-player team (Maybe Oakland)

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Show me
the payroll. Where would that team rank in payroll? What are the current batting averages and ERA’s of that staff?
This plus the domed stadium thing
in the same week.

My point was not to rip the Rangers
Theres no team that could afford all those players. Besides the Yankees
You forgot Ryan Dempster
and you also forgot to not make this post.

fine
played for the Rangers organization. Semantics of course because the Rangers ‘could’ still have him just like everyone else you listed.

Well by that standard
take Danks off that list he also never played a major league game for us.
Nobody punished like Earl and No one was nastier than Ryan
I bet this "team" for every club would be equally impressive
everyone in that former rangers lineup has played for at least 3 teams in their career (or, in the case of Gonzalez, was drafted by another team).
(Also I would have Gonzalez at 1st and Teixeira DH’ing, but that is me being consistent with thinking Gonzalez is the better player)
I think more interesting would be a list of the best teams each club could field using only players they originally signed (drafted, int’l signings, etc).
Go Rice Owls!
yankees
Not as complete, because they’ve had Jeter at SS forever and I didn’t feel like digging through all the pitchers. I’m sure there is some scrub who has passed through to play those positions

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
i once had a fantasy baseball league where each owner picked a real team
and could only draft players that were (at one point in their careers) on the ML roster of that team. I had the Rangers, and it was pretty difficult to field a pitching staff (several years back). Plus, you had to know which of your targets could be drafted by other teams. It was also interesting because guys who were lifelong players of your team wouldn’t be drafted until the very end.

1st round – Ivan Rodriguez
2nd – Kenny Rogers
3. (55) Doug Davis
4. (66) Travis Hafner
5. (95) Francisco Cordero
6. (106) Ugueth Urbina
7. (135) Craig Monroe
8. (146) Kevin Brown
9. (175) Ryan Drese
10. (186) Aaron Sele
11. (215) Dan Kolb
12. (226) Rod Barajas
13. (255) Brian Shouse
14. (266) Mike Stanton
15. (295) Mark Teixeira
16. (306) Kevin Mench
17. (335) Laynce Nix

20. (386) Kameron Loe

22. (426) Michael Young
23. (455) Hank Blalock
Also added Julio Franco, Mike Lamb, Desi Relaford, Joaquin Benoit for Regilio, Kolb, Barajas, and Stanton at some point during the season.
I finished 14th out of 20th…unsurprisingly.

I'm in one of those this year
And despite the Rangers being in first most of the season, I’m in something like 9th place out of 12 teams
Go Rice Owls!
Danny Herrera
would be a bullpen option as well. And you might be able to throw the Duke on the pitching staff in a month or so. We need to trade off Andrus soon, because your SS is weak.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
wait till next year and you can add Omar Vizquel
I've won the same lifetime achievement award twice....yes I'm the Most Interesting Man in the World
What about Eric Gagne?

Well one thing is for sure the team was well covered at
First Base, the rangers have always (well since the late 70s) had some excellent first basemen, and if CD ever learns to hit he could carry it forward
Larry Parrish Was Da Man!
Well if you want to know so bad
Why don’t you research it and tell us. Oh I know maybe you could get Josey to help you out.
2009 Texas Rangers: Why The Hell Not Us?--ghtd36 on May 13, 2009
i remember doing this last year
on another site, the pitching staff looked a lot better last year
go here to view my blog: http://dirtfromd.blogspot.com
how many of these are upgrades?
not nearly as many as you would think
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Hey look, the Rangers or Robbers guy is back.
Get on base or die, Salty.
"I don’t think we ever envisioned that anyone could shut this offense down to one hit" - Ron Washington
That rotation...
would be pretty weak. Galarraga has been pretty inconsistent, Young is on the DL with shoulder inflammation and Volquez is on the DL with elbow inflammation (is TJ in his future?).
