Bench had 389 HRs, but ranked only 56th in dWAR. You're on the right track looking at catchers, though...

Bingo. One more left for HRs and SBs.

Was Gary Carter guessed yet?

Vizquel had a lot of steals and I think great defensive stats though people bitched about his range and thought they were inflated.

You got them both! Gary Carter for HRs and Omar Visquel for SBs.

So the lists:

Ripken
Carter
Beltre
I-Rod
Andruw Jones

Ozzie Smith
Luis Aparicio
Omar Visquel

Now for the bonus -- I'll just say that Andruw Jones had the most steals of the 5 power hitters. But #2 is not far behind. Anyone venture a guess?

I would guess Beltre.
