That's an interesting argument, really.
AVG:
.281 Wills
.273 Rizzuto
.269 Reese
.262 Aparicio
.262 Smith
Wow. Wills is clearly the best hitter of the bunch. Good thing since he'd be getting elected almost entirely on the basis of his offensive ability, specifically his leadoff ability.
OBP:
.366 Reese
.351 Rizzuto
.337 Smith
.330 Wills
.311 Aparicio
Woops, sorry Maury. If we're going to start electing fast .330 OBP leadoff hitting shortstops with slightly above average defense into the HOF, Jimmy Rollins should be a lock in 15 years. He just needs to get someone hitting second who won't mind taking until they get to 2 strikes every at bat so he can take a crack at 100 steals.
