Mike Schmidt.
Hands down!

I'm a Dodger fan, but the best I ever saw was Craig Nettles.
Old timers will probably say Brooks Robinson.
At the plate, give me Mike Schmidt. Not bad with the glove either.

probably Brooks Robinson or Mike Schmidt

Brooks Robinson, hands down.

David Wright!
But seriously, Wade Boggs, and Brooks Robinson

Glove-Brooks Robinson
Bat-George Brett

Mike Schmidt.

This is one of those "greatest" questions that doesn't really need debate. Michael Jack is THE third baseman. Others can duke it out for second-best.

Though if ARod keeps playing 3B, we might have a good debate some years from now.

Brooks Robinson. Soon to be A - Rod.

In the history of the game:

Brooks Robinson hands down.

Mike Schmidt.

Defensively Brooks Robinson was better, but Schmidt still won 10 Gold Gloves plus 8 HR titles.

Eric Chavez of the Oakland A's. 6 Gold Gloves in a row and counting.

Mike Schmidt. But A-Rod for the future.

pete rose
check out his stats
another one tell me

as a combination of hitting and defense, Brooks Robinson

Mike Schmidt, with Brooks Robinson a close second.

i am a Baltimore fan and as much as it pains me to say this. But, Michael Jack Schmidt is the BEST third Baseman not only of his generation but of any generation, Brooks was a master with the leather but Brooks could not even hold a candle to Schmidt's batting stats.
