Mark LPeter,
It's possible to rank Wagner 14th only if you ignore how much defense and pitching dominated baseball during the first decade or two of the last century. He put up competitive career numbers in hits, ops., total bases, runs created, etc. during an era when the league batting average was in the .240's. The pitchers weren't on steroids but they threw spitballs, emery balls, etc. and kept using them until they turned black.
