Best 3B outside chipper
-
So far I haven’t like anyone other than Chipper. Had Mathews for awhile, he was good, but still not better than Chipper.

Harmon
Agree. Harmon has been a monster at the plate for me.

Michael jack Schmidt elite defense. And a ridiculous bat. I know people have his swing but I actually love his card. Hasn’t hit too many homers for me yet but a lot of doubles in the gap
-
Cap at 3b Rollins ss and Hornsby 2b babe 1st base catcher piazza, posada, or weiters whoever your better with. Outfield walker trout mantle. That’s the best lineup in my opinion right now.
-
I havent been totally happy with anyone yet. Ive made defense a big priority at 3B because it seems at least one or two balls a game get hit there that can be the difference between giving up runs or not. So ive used Matt Chapman, who is a wall and has some power but his PCI is itty bitty, GG Evan Longoria, but again, his vision is low.
Nolan Gorman and Nolan Jones can both hit but are just ok defensively.
I cant hit with FOTF George Brett but some say he is very good.
Pablo Sandoval was pretty good but i felt like his defense was weak because he missed stuff down the line a lot.
Live Series Nolan Arenado is pretty good when he is playing up against righties, but that hit or miss.I didnt like Sheffield there. He was a statue.
Im looking forward to getting Mike Schmidt. Hes my next contestant.If you dont care about defense there are lots of options, tho.
Sometimes i just say F it and play "The Todd Father" (Todd Frazier) He seems to always play above his ratings for me......i just feel like its not a card i should be relying on.
Anyway -- thats my 2 cents.

99 Jackie then find yourself a two bagger
-
Honestly I think Big Ed Matthews is better than Chipper. For me he is anyway. Then, believe it or not, I roll with Derby Todd Frazier. Dude has been great!!!
-
For me I find defense to be random at 3b especially (Gary Sheffield can make a diving catch then Evan Longoria can get the animation where the ball rolls under the glove). So I just run Sheffield for the bat
-
If not chipper it's Sheffield, embrace the nukes.
-
Killebrew. I don't hit for the highest average with him, but he does big time damage when he connects.
-
Sheffield's bat is too hot for him to move from 3B for me.
-
Run your CAP at 3rd
-
Been rolling with prestige Rhyno and like it. Nice pop, defense, and speed. Love Sheff too as well as Killer.
It’s really hard to take killer out but I platoon him with Babe in big situations sometimes even though Babe takes vs lefties. If they bring in a new pitcher and men are on base I’ll swap him out sometimes. Killer is amazing.
To be clear... Chipper stopped hitting for me after prestige lol. Dropped to .250 BA.
Haven’t tried Brett or Schmitt as I like to get as many 100 + power hitters as I can in.
-
George Brett
-
Top 5 3B IMO :
- Josh Donaldson
- Prestige Gary Sheffield
- Chipper
- Jose Ramirez (I use him at 2B)
- Eddie Matthews or George Brett.
-
I got All-Star Miguel Cabrera on my squad right now, best 3B I have currently. Glove not as great, I just have him for the bat. He hasn't made any errors yet, though!
-
Mike Schmidt or Gary Sheffield if you can handle his defense.

Shef isn’t a serviceable defender at 3rd (strong arm doesn’t make up for the fact that he has no range and can barely field a routine grounder right at him) he gets hidden in Left or a bench bomber.

Interesting, my perspective is different on this. I'm not sacrificing defense in the OF, I'll take the garbage reactions and my chances at third. It's worked out for me this entire game cycle.
