LSB Community All-Time Greatest Rangers Ranking No. 1

PrintWith Texas Rangers history changing dramatically in the last couple of years, with LSB now being far busier than it was before, and with baseball season kicking up, I wanted to try this again.
If it's not successful, I'll quit. I'm thinking of going to 20, but we'll see.
Anyway, we're going to get the community's ranking of the greatest Rangers ever via systematic polls.
Feel free to define "greatness" however you see fit; majority will determine what our definition is, essentially. Please feel free to argue your choices and others in the comments, or not. However, if you are going to include on-field performance in greatness, I would encourage you to at least do a little bit of research to make sure some of your notions coming in are in fact correct.
Only players who played in Texas are considered for this.
I've included everyone who I thought might get a first place vote. If there is anyone not on the poll who you think should be up for No. 2, please let me know.

I figure this one will be one-sided.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Yep.
Anger logic's so great I kinda forget what we saw in regular logic in the first place.

Landslide cometh

I'm going with value to the org rather than overall player skill.
Meaning A-Rod and Nolan will be below players who aren’t HoF because of their shorter tenures here.
Pudge is #1.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
A-Rod would be high on my list for having possibly the three best Ranger seasons ever.
But lack of value produced past that, and lack of becoming a great representative of the Texas Rangers, or being a part of important seasons, will hurt him.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Nolan will be up there for satisfying the second two.

So tempted to troll with a MY vote
but I went with Pudge.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
I would think probably, since it doesn't seem to specify as to only being a player.
Just a Texas Ranger.

He's Mr. Freaking Ranger

I'm HOPING people look at them as players.
And only players qualify.
But you can do what you want, and I’ll hope the majority sides with my vote.

If seven years of 450 hits from a corner outfielder is good for second place for you, I'll put him on the next poll.

Some of his best rate stat seasons were in Texas.
I’d probably take his first three years in Texas over his best three years in Houston.
But, coupled with workload, his California years were something else.

i think you should go to 100
just so that we can see people debate between Doyle Alexander and Oddibe McDowell.
