I'm gonna have to go with Adam Everret. I think he's a pretty good SS from what i've seen. I also like the fact that he doesn't try to do too much. He's great at playing to the situation and he's one reason why sabrmetrics isn't always right as he's putting up good numbers while still playing small ball by bunting and sacrificing runners in.

I doubt you've seen much of Jack Wilson, but he's the same type of player. Very scrappy, bunts runners into scoring position when he has to and plays the game the way it's supposed to be played. When I say that, I mean in the sense that this guy runs out every ground ball as hard as he can and looks to take an extra base hit whenever an outfielder is slacking.
He's really a joy to watch if you like old school baseball and get tired of watching prima donna type players. I just hope he keeps it up because the Pirates need some players like this.
