Clearly behind Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Dimaggio and Berra. Ford and Dickey were better players but Jeter has meant a lot more to the Yankees than either of those two. Jackson and A-Rod weren't lifelong Yankees. Rivera is the only other player outside the big five with a case for being a greater Yankee than Jeter. So I put him as the sixth or seventh greatest Yankee of all-time.

No idea. Top 6 are set with 2-6 being debatable. After that who knows.

There are quite a few guys that have legitimate shots, but it is a pointless debate.

Jeter?

Bernie was good and all but like I said, you can had a pretty much unanimous #1. Then you have a few "groups". Within each group you can swap guys around depending on what you value. There is no definitive 1,2,3,4,5, etc.

since you already have 6, I would go with Bill Dickey, D Jeter, M Rivera, & Lefty Gomez.

I clearly stated there is no definitive list

If I was grouping I would agree with your top 6. Depending on the day I would swap 2-6 in no particular order. I think Mantle, Gehrig, and DiMaggio are 2-4 but the order is debatable.
