Rank these Yankees in order

[Philaflava]

Not a top 10, too easy. Top 7 out of the list of the 12 players below.

Babe Ruth
Mickey Mantle
Lou Gehrig
Yogi Berra
Joe DiMaggio
Mariano Rivera
Derek Jeter
Reggie Jackson
Whitey Ford
Andy Pettitte
Roger Maris
Don Mattingly

Rickey Henderson's WAR in 4.5 seasons with the Yankees (30.5) exceeds Paul Konerko's WAR in 15 seasons with the White Sox (26).

Reggie Jackson's WAR in 5 seasons with the Yankees is about 18, although that doesn't take his playoff stats into account.

Who is the all time Yankees staff ace? Any answer will be pretty sad.

Ruth
DiMaggio (don't forget he lost 3 years of his prime to WWII)
Gehrig
Mantle
Jeter

you could argue 2-4 in any order, gave DiMaggio the edge cause he wifed up Marilyn Monroe
and unnacceptable to put Yogi over Jeter.

[Roy Johnson]

DiMaggio (don't forget he lost 3 years of his prime to WWII)

Good point, but I'd still put Gehrig at #2 because of this:

wRC+
1. Babe Ruth 197
2. Ted Williams 188
3. Lou Gehrig 173

wOBA
1. Babe Ruth .513
2. Ted Williams .493
3. Lou Gehrig .477

Mount Rushmore status.

[Tommy Bunz]

Word. Williams lost 3 years to the military too, he'd easily be part of the 600 HR club without the war.
I docked Gehrig cause his career was shorter than the others, but I didn't really spend that much time looking at the hard stats so I might have been wrong for doing that.

What are the odds that, adjusting for era and quality of competition, Derek Jeter is actually a better baseball player than Babe Ruth?

Have you only been watching baseball for the past three years or are you one of those people overly upset about steroids?

Berra played longer at a more difficult position, won more World Series, and more MVPs.

You can't say that you can't make a legit case for Berra over Gehrig.

Did Yogi call your mother names bro? Jackson had a better career as an Athletic. He will always be remembered for his post season play with the Yankees, which brings me to Yogi. More HR in post season, more MVP, more rings, true leader of the team. He should def be within your 7. And Maris had like 3 good years as a Yankee, that's it.
