Someone who might be the best glove ever at his position, and is also a great hitter, doesn't belong in the very good category. If you think his career is short in quantity, fine, but the quality of Terry's play was superb.
On a side note, Terry led the Giants to a World Series victory in his second season as player-manager.
Edit: Forgot to mention the 9 consecutive seasons with an EQA over .300.
