A shortstop is the position most likely to get in the Hall of Fame, despite the fact that any player with any offensive numbers at all usually was moved away from shortstop for a specialist. (Since the 90s, this has changed.)

Cal Ripken, Jr. and Robin Yount were the first shortstops who could hit the ball AT ALL.

Interesting point in your post, but this is flat-out wrong.

Honus Wagner retired with 3,400+ hits and a .328 lifetime batting average. He won eight NL batting titles over his career. With more than 700 stolen bases and his superior glove in the field, he was arguably one of the five greatest MLB players of all time.

Peewee Reese had some pop in his bat; 7 seasons of double digit homers...
