Yeah it's not Yount. Wiki says he played more than 1200 games in the OF and he only played in 2856 total.

Last one's a tough one, I think. Cheated and looked it up so I won't give it away.

Luke Appling??
Played forever on the Sox. But he also moved around the INF I think. Never saw him obviously though, only know the name.

Did Boudreu play long enough in Cleveland? Or in general? Short career.

That's the one I looked up. I dunno how many he played at SS but he played short in each of his 20 seasons and had 2,422 games total.

Based on a link I dug up (which does not include Jeter) the trivia would have to be bumped to SIX players.
Here is the link (does not include Jeter):
