For me the list would be Raffy, Tex, Hargrove, Clark, O'Brien.

Honorable mentions to Napoli, Moreland, Stevens, Spencer and Putnam.
Have to agree with you in that I would have Raffy at the top.

Palmeiro was one of the biggest jerks to ever wear a Rangers uniform and unquestionably padded his stats with all the steroids he took. I’d take Will Clark and his lesser total stats any day of the week. He was the anti-Palmeiro... an old school hard-nosed player who played for his teammates and the fans instead of for stats and individual honors. By the same token, I’d rather have Rusty Greer memorialized as a Rangers “great” than Juan Gonzalez. I’d be a hypocrite if I said the Astros deserved harsh punishments for cheating and then in the same breath said cheaters like Raffy and Juan were praise-worthy in any way. Talented? Sure, no question. But what would their numbers have been without the roids? We’ll never know.

I love Will Clark, the epitome of how the game should be played

Gee, what a shocker that you chose Will "the thrill" Clark. Love the guy too and both came from MSU. Both were good players even before Raffy screwed up. I picked him because my oldest son at the time was in elementary school and loved watching the guy play.

No TR, Clark was the only here because we decided to lowball Raffy. We have been lowballing guys for quite some time now. Clark was definitely Plan B in most fans eyes at the time.

2020 MLB Draft: First-Round Mock 2.0 - Baseball Prospect Journal

14. Texas Rangers: Austin Hendrick, OF, West Allegheny (Pa.) HS

Austin Hendrick, a lefty hitter, has elite raw power for a high schooler and profiles as a middle-of-the-order bat in pro ball. He is a good athlete and has a strong arm. Although he likely could play center field, he profiles better in right field.
