1) Wagner

3) Probably Jeter. Close call between Ripken, Jeter, Banks, and Yount

Andrew I know you weren’t asking me but I like the idea.
1. Wagner
2. Arod
3. Ripken
4. Arky Vaughan (could have been higher if he didn’t lose several seasons because he hated Leo Durocher)
5. Jeter-Banks-yount group (pretty similar overall in my opinion, each with different strengths and weaknesses)
6. The next tier of guys like Ozzie Smith, Barry Larkin, Joe Cronin, etc
Also keep in mind Arod and Yount both played about half their games at other positions so you could make an argument that they shouldn’t be on the list at all when speaking of purely shortstops.
