Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually. As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2025/26 revision of our top 50 Texas Rangers.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Rangers finished third in the American League West with an even 81-81 record, which was not good enough for a playoff spot. There were no new entrants, but three players were elevated among the active players.
As always, we present our top five, which saw changes due to the new algorithm.
1. Ivan Rodriguez
2. Rafael Palmeiro
3. Juan González
4. Adrian Beltre
5. Michael Young
You can find the entire list here.
Within the top five, the new algorithm saw Juan González and Adrián Beltre flip the #3 and #4 spots. Michael Young also jumped into the top five. He was previously ranked at #7.
Shortstop Corey Seager moved from #23 to #16.
Infielder Marcus Semien, now a New York Met, climbed from #25 to #21.
Adolis Garcia jumped up ten spots to #25.
Greg Vaughn and Steven Souza Jr. fell off the list.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
