you realize that the most games that juan gone ever DH'ed in a season was 89 and that he doesn't even appear on the list of the top 10 Ranger DH's by stats. As you pointed out it's by games played at a position and Juan doesn't qualify at DH because there are at least 10 players including MY who played more games at DH than Juan. and Frank Howard only played like 1 season with the Rangers and a total of 21 games in the OF.

1B: Palmeiro
2B: Franco
3B: Bell
SS: ARod
C: Pudge
Outfield: Hamilton, Burroughs, Gonzalez
DH: M Young
SP: Ryan, Brown, Rogers
RP: Wetteland, Feliz, Russell

Of course this list will look different for the 50th anniversary team (Beltre, Andrus, and Kinsler are possibilities), but M Young has to be on the team, just don't know where to slot him other than DH.

They included him on their list of DHs, so I put him

Do I think Young is one of the best Rangers of all time? yes, but he's not the best Ranger of all time at ANY position, its one of those wierd quirks

I would have to put young in somewhere....I know he wasn't a great 3rd baseman but he would go in over bell. Just no way I could leave mike out. I know buddy was a vacuum at 3rd but....

No TEX team I would vote for would include Alex (I Cheated While I Played Here) Rodriguez.

No sense having anyone on the team who isn't going to get elected to the HOF because he lied to Congress ... so Palmeiro is toast too.

Take out the cheater palmeiro and add al Oliver.

Careful there. Pudge got mentioned in the Canseco book that has proven to be pretty accurate.

Just staying within the parameters they established, your beef is with them, not me
