1.) 53.0% - 1-5
2.) 15.9% - 6-10
3.) 5.3% - 11-20

2.) 10.6% - Braves
3.) 7.0% - Rangers

Team you'd NEVER play for

RE: OT: Athlon's MLB Player Survey
The Rangers are becoming a popular destination for players because:

1) Fairly good (albeit hot) weather.
2) No state income tax in Texas.
3) Generally stable leadership from Nolan Ryan, etc.
4) A consistently good farm system, ensuring that the team will remain competitive.
5) A central location; not too far from either coast and with easy flights to Latin America.
6) A local media that doesn't savage the players like in some other markets.

I could go on ...

LOL, the Yanks as are polarizing among players as they are among fans.
