The Texas Rangers are a team known for having an explosive batting lineup that scores a lot of runs, but also a team that gives up a lot of runs with average or worse pitching. Some of the more famous players their lineup include aged certain to be baseball hall of framer [[Sammy Sosa]] and young rising stars such as [[Michael Young]] and [[Ian Kinsler]]. On the pitching side [[Kevin Millwood]] is considered the ace of the unit.
The Texas Rangers are a team known for having an explosive batting lineup that scores a lot of runs, but also a team that gives up a lot of runs with average or worse pitching. This is due in part to Globe Life Park being a very hitter-friendly park which gives up a lot of home runs.
However, the franchise is known for its willingness to accept players with prior off-field issues; Josh Hamilton (substance abuse) and Matt Bush (DUI resulting in a prison sentence) were both MLB #1 overall picks that ended up with the Rangers franchise
