Designated Hitter

Starter – Mark Teixeira

Breakdown – Be honest, if you were building a lineup and had a chance to put Palmeiro and Tex in the same lineup somehow, you would. Maybe these two should have flopped as Teixeira was a great fielder as well.

Runner up – Ruben Sierra, While he was primarily an outfielder in the first stint as a Ranger, he played DH plenty in his career and was very formidable in the spot, in his time in Texas he had an average of .280 and had 180 Home Runs in 10 seasons. Honestly, though, you could put almost anyone here really, Blalock, Tex? If Blalock would’ve been able to remain healthy there is no telling how good he could’ve been.
