Simms was drafted out of Esperanza High School in Anaheim, California by the Astros in 1985. Most of his career highs were set in 1998 for the Rangers, when he batted .296 with 16 home runs and 46 RBI in just 186 at bats. Despite his performance, he played just four games with Texas in 1999 and none in the majors thereafter.
