Joe Morgan
Roberto Alomar (offensive WAR 70.8 to 60.1 for Kent)

Cano and Grich may be ahead of Kent as well.
OPS+ for 2nd Basemen:
1) Rogers Hornsby 175
2) Lajoie 150
3) Eddie Collins 142
4) Jackie Robinson 133
5) Joe Morgan 132
6) Gehringer/Bobby Grich 125
8) Robinson Cano 124
9) Jeff Kent 123
10 Joe Gordon 120
11) Lou Whitaker and Chace Utley 117
13) Roberto Alomar 116
14) Ryne Sandberg 114
15) Dustin Pedroia 113
16) Biggio 112
I think Carew played more games at 1B than 2B so it is hard to count him.
