Since the days of John Wetteland, the closer position has been a point of pride for the Texas Rangers. Although, after a few of one and done years of closers, and plenty of turnover at the position, have the Texas Rangers finally found their longstanding premier closer in Jose Leclerc?
History of the Position
Many talented pitchers have come through Texas in this role, players like Fransisco Cordero, Eric Gagne, Neftali Feliz, Joe Nathan, and Keone Kela. Some lasting longer than others, and none of the above lasted as long as Wetteland in the role.
