Does anyone think that Rickey Henderson belongs on this list?

I agree on Puckett, DiMaggio, and Winfield (especially in the 1970's when he used his speed to steal bases). I was going to say Bo Jackson, but with a career avg of 250 and an OBP of 309...I think he was lacking 1 of the 5 tools.

You could make a case for Rickey, but I never really saw him as much of a power threat or superior defender. In fact his defense was pretty average at best for most of his career.
