Interesting poll.

The only upset was Rusty Greer over Palmiero. Is that fans show love for Greer? Anger at Raffy's steroid denial and then being popped? Something else?

Thought the same thing. Raffy was clearly the better player but fans loved the "run through the wall" style Greer played with. I also remember he would literally sprint the bases on a homerun. No bat flips for Greer!

Not a big surprise IMO... Palmeiro has become one of the more notable "villains" in the steroid era due to his finger wagging at Congress.

I didn't like Palmeiro when he was on the Rangers and I like him even less now

Pudge most likely wins this. and he should, if the measure is who was the greatest for this team for the longest period of time.

Pudge should win even if it wasn't about specific-team-contribution.

Pudge is arguably the greatest or second greatest catcher of all-time. Nolan is outside of many people's Top 5.

If the question was "who was the greatest player that played for the Rangers?" it could at least be a conversation between Pudge and Nolan. But "Greatest Ranger?" I can't even consider a guy who only averaged about 12 wins a season for 5 years.

Should be Pudge, hands down.

Nolan delivered some great moments. Pudge is the greatest Ranger ever though.

Out of those two, Pudge and it isn't even close.

The Rangers franchise has achieved something now, the fan base can stop latching on to a player who was talented, but was too old and mediocre to leave the Rangers for another team like some of the other extremely talented players that have come through Arlington.

Beltre and Ryan are more comparable than Pudge and Ryan.

Where was Gonzo on this list? He and Ruben Sierra were my favorites of the early 90's teams.

No, he was a cheater thanks to his time with the Rangers.

Nolan did not play enough years for the Rangers to be the greatest of all-time for the franchise.

that would be like astro fans voting Clemens the best astro of all-time

Don't be silly. Pudge was the Astros all time best player.
