'''Michael Howard Simms''' (born January 12, 1967) is an American former [Major League Baseball](/source/Major_League_Baseball) [outfielder](/source/outfielder). He played all or parts of nine seasons in the majors between 1990 and 1999. Six of those seasons (1990–92 and 1994–96) were spent with the [Houston Astros](/source/Houston_Astros), and three (1997–99) with the [Texas Rangers](/source/Texas_Rangers_(baseball)).

Simms was drafted out of [Esperanza High School](/source/Esperanza_High_School) in [Anaheim, California](/source/Anaheim%2C_California) by the Astros in [1985](/source/1985_Major_League_Baseball_Draft). Most of his career highs were set in {{mlby|1998}} for the Rangers, when he batted .296 with 16 home runs and 46 RBI in just 186 [at bat](/source/at_bat)s. Despite his performance, he played just four games with Texas in 1999 and none in the majors thereafter. Dan McDowell of KTCK-1310 the ticket radio station in Dallas called Simms, “ One of the most underrated Rangers players in Texas History.”
