I guess having the #1 Defensive WAR doesn't count for anything?

...or being voted to 15 All Star Games in a 19 year career?

...or having won the most Gold Gloves (13) among short stops?

...2nd overall in Assits with 8375 (19 year career = yearly avg 441), second to Rabbit Maranville 8967 (23 year career = yearly avg 390). First in assists for SS

...1st Total Zone Runs as SS (239)



Also with Jeter retiring this year I am constantly hearing that he is a first year HOF.

Jeter WAR: 71.6 (88 overall) | JAWS: 56.9 (12 overall)
O. Smith WAR: 76.5 (69 overall) | JAWS: 59.4 (8 overall)


Offensively only O. Smith doesn't stack up to the competition (though he does rank 5th in SB among SS) but he is the BEST defensive SS in the history of the game. If you can't be the best in your defensive position in the game and still be in the HOF then that would be a shame.
