That's my issue - I read 'Greatest Dodger' as something more than 'greatest player to wear a Dodgers' uniform.' Koufax didn't have the reputation for leadership and community service that Snider, Reese, or Robinson had - and for that I still have a difficult time adjudicating this title to him. However, his greatness on the mound makes it difficult for me to choose anyone else... quite the conundrum.
