With that caveat that I'm unsure how to judge the Negro League guys, you and I are on the same page on all of the other guys you listed.
As mentioned above, ARod being just 2 spots higher than Derek Jeter is laughable. You could split ARod's career into two pieces by position and both careers would be top 30 - and still higher than Jeter.
