Who’s the best 3rd baseman you’ve played with?
-
Still using Chapman at 3rd, I cant give up the 99 fielding and reaction.
-
I've been using Sheffield there and he's been incredible. Makes way more plays than you'd expect, and that strong arm is nice. Realistically he's there for the bat more than anything else.
Before I got Sheffield I was using POTM Correa at 3rd. Same idea with the arm, and as a bonus he's free to earn.
-
Chipper has a sweet swing. I have him prestige. I retired him because in my journey to unlock mvp trout I unlocked a lot of cards and I have Sheffield at 3rd now
-
donaldson. 93 reaction he gets to everything. plus his swing is so good. will be there for me until foxx finally gets released
-
I appreciate all the responses!! I’m probably gonna go with Chipper because I like the switch hitting aspect he brings(and I’m a die hard Braves fan) but I may try Brett or the Panda out to. I’m definitely gonna keep Longoria on the bench for defense but Encarnacion is gonna have to go!
-
Ive used every third basemen and 3 have spots on my team still. Brett starts because you usually face RHP but prestige Sheff and Chipper are off the bench. Chipper I feel comfortable to pinch hit with even vs righties at 91/91 his swings so sweet.
-
For months, it's been FOTF Joey Gallo. Of course, I've moved him around the diamond cus I like his versatility and LH Power. I put him in my #2 spot. Now I'm starting to platoon Gallo with Awards Evan Longoria depending on pitcher handedness. I still can't consistently hit well when its a LH Pitcher vs LH Batter.
-
Sheffield by far the most consistent for me. It’s hard for me to take him out of lineup and I like other cards in outfield. Banks at SS, but I have Chipper and Kris Bryant on bench. They are both very good too. That Kris Bryant was clutch for me in the Babe Ruth moments with multiple pinch hit homers.
-
Gorman or Longoria or Schmidt have all killed it for me this year

Sheffield, defense doesn’t matter much at 3rd, just need a good arm
???? I’d love to play you in RS and rake liners down the 3rd base line the whole game. Think you might have a different opinion on 3rd base defense after that
-
Blood Diamond Chipper will give you a decent fielding, monster offense 3rd basement.

I’m sure you could try to do that all day...ask cbrev the top 50 player about defense at 3rd lol...also Chipper isn’t any better than Sheffield with Chippers weak arm

I’ll take chippers average arm and defensive range over sheffs good arm and his inability to get to anything down the 3rd base line

He will knock it down...if you want to try to pull everything down the line against me good luck. I’ll just bunt with my team to Chipper...

The first bunt might work, you won’t get away with bunting after that. You do realize he is the best in the game at charging barehand fielding and throwing in the same motion. Just like in real life

Not sure what point your making with that post as you haven’t given any context about that particular post I made a month ago. We’re debating the merits of fielding at 3rd base and you’re the one bragging about how it’s not important and how you would break down Chipper at 3rd. I’m simply rebutting your argument. Do you have a problem with defending your position? I mean deflecting to another argument doesn’t make you very credible.

Yeah I was about to say, of all the knocks on Chippers defense, his animations going in on the ball are flawless. Ive never seen him miss a dribbler its just the hot shots to his left away from the glove.
Dude played bunts and choppers as well as anybody.

That’s why I play Correa at Short. With Chipper able to play the line so well and Correa defending the hole it pretty tough to get much through. Up the middle is still the weakest part of my infield defense so I pitch away from the maddening dribblers up the middle.
