Default How Great was Jackie Robinson?

Not to bash a guy on his "day", but

i was wondering how great was Jackie Robinson? As i look through these threads from time to time i notice many folks list him as there 2nd basemen on all teams. ( i think i remember seeing that ) Is he worthy of this? Was he that good? i realize the importance of Jackie Robinson but i truely don't know where he actually ranks in the discussion of alltime 2nd basemen. The only thing i really have for background is his stats and comparable players off of Baseball Reference.com. By looking at similar batters / comparable players the comparison to Greg Jeffries and Jeff Cirillo had me wondering. Obviously he was better.. how much? It would seem to me the Maz, Joe Morgan, Rogers Hornsby, Lajoie etc. are a level above. I don't know maybe someone can educated me.
