The Texas Rangers will be looking to new and old faces to lead this club back to the playoffs in 2014.


Prince Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo will need to make a difference from the get-go, as well as Yu Darvish and Derek Holland’s replacement. This year’s closer has some big shoes to fill with the departure of Joe Nathan.


But just how important is each player to the club? That is what we are going to do here. We are going to rank their importance for the upcoming season.


The criteria for the rankings will be based on last season’s numbers and career numbers. Contracts will also have a part in some of the players' ranks.


Here are the five most important players for the Rangers’ 2014 season.
