I'd suggest that he belongs ahead of Rolen and Helton on that list, Jeter as well if you consider the fact that Jeter's a pretty miserable fielder. On closer inspection, I'd put him ahead of Beltran (Carlos had speed on Edmonds and that's it, Edmonds was a more dangerous hitter and a better fielder based on virtually any metric) and right alongside Chipper Jones.

For a guy that gets such a bad rap for 'preening'; Edmonds has been incredibly underrated for the bulk of his career.
