Willie Randolph may be the most underrated Yankee ever

If you were to guess the 10 most valuable position players in Yankees history, based on wins above replacement, who would you have? The top several are easy: Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio, Jeter, and Berra are all slam dunks. Then you have Bill Dickey, a Hall of Famer whose number has been retired by the club, and Alex Rodriguez, who for all his faults was widely considered one of the preeminent talents of his era. Can’t say any of the top eight are surprising and, in their careers and after, they all received due credit for their abilities and accomplishments.
