Killebrew is the best power hitting 3b in the game.
I'm looking for really solid defense mostly along with great contact. Power is nice to have, but not a must really with my lineup so far. How does that card play defensively for you?
As imagined, as all cards seem to play terribly at random times.
He made slightly more mistakes as Schmidt did when I used him. -

If you have Sandberg or Jackie I would throw them at 3rd
Actually, funny you should mention it. I'm only 20 points off from unlocking that Jackie 99 Sig. Series card. Playing that card at a secondary position gives me pause. Have you played him at 3B?
-
I've played him at 3rd a few times, he's definitely not a superstar over there but I love his bat. I usually keep him at 2nd and play Sandberg at 3rd because Sandberg keeps a gold shield at secondary position
-
I went with Brett because I loved his SS card last year. I haven't been disappointed in the least, he hits for power and average, and his defense is great.
I think all the options listed above are can't miss cards. You need to decide if you want a LH or RH bat and go from there.

I used Sheffield for most of the year so far, but recently he has been making costly errors on easy hit balls. I switched over to George Brett and his first game went 4/5 2hr on Hall of Fame. Definitely will be sticking with Brett.

Minnie Minoso is 3B as a secondary
-
Brett is amazing at 3rd

That is literally the opposite of what OP is looking for. I'd try Brett and if you end up not hitting well get in a larger sample sell for Schmidt and try to adapt your timing OP. I keep Brett and Killebrew on my team and Brett does pretty well on defense.

George Brett seems like the perfect fit for what you're asking for.
I've heard good things about the new Kris Bryant, too. Personally, I can't come off Sheffield at 3B.
-
Schmidt has been a beast for me.
-
How far are you from completing the NL ? If close id say save up and get sheffield
-
George Brett, Nolan Gorman, Kris Bryant all look great and they’ve all got good swings.
-
Defense doesn’t matter at 3rd, just need a good arm. Killebrew will still be amazing at 3rd.

Bellinger, Scherzer and Yelich is all I have left.

I went with Brett last night. Sniped it at 45k. So far, I'm really happy with it. Not sure Scheff displaces him when I get him and I worry about his defense there. I know a lot of people on this board say that defense doesn't matter at 3B, but I've seen otherwise. From myself and other players I've gone up against.
Could be part of the symptom of throwing pitches that go over too much of the plate, but at 3B - I don't like to risk it.

If you are looking for defense, contact, speed grab Kebryan Hayes ( Pirates affinity.)

I play Robinson at first and he's been my best defensive 1B (apart from Bellinger, who I play in the OF). I'd assume he'd do equally as well at 3rd.
