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.

I know what you mean about Jackson. Unfortunately we will never know, but I think Bo would have improved his average enough to be considered.

I agree with you about Henderson's defense, but I think that he managed to win 1 Gold Glove.
