Where does Bernie Williams rank in Yankee CFers and how would you rank him as an All-Time Greatest Yankee?

Bernie is a solid third among the all-time Yankee CFers, but miles behind Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. After Bernie is probably Earle Combs, though Bobby Murcer has a good argument as well. Others worth mention would be Ben Chapman and Mickey Rivers. Both had some good years playing CF for the Yanks, but spent more time with other organizations.
It's tough to say where on the all-time Yankee list Bernie falls. He's behind at least Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Berra, Dickey, Ford, and Rivera/

The only people I could think of offhand, other than the obvious of DiMaggio and Mantle, then Combs, would be Mickey Rivers. I'm not sure who ranks higher. I'm asking around.

Probably 3rd best CF and in the top ten of posiiton players.
