George was a better fielder, and as long as you adjust for the era, Brett has him.

George Brett
With the deepest of regrets I am announcing that I will be leaving Pro Sports Daily. No reason in particular but wanted to thank everyone for a great 6 years here. Lots of great discussion and good poll series as well. Also fun re-drafts. Best of luck to you all in the future.

This one probably isn't going to end up in Chipper's favor.
Chipper is one of the better third basemen ever, but he is still behind Brett

I'm going to feel confident about my choice without even looking up George Brett's stats.
And no poll.... George Brett.

is this some kind of sick joke?
George Brett.
One of the greatest baseball players EVER.
Jones has had a really good career but he's really not even in the same class.

Anyone that is laughing at this comparison I'm guessing didn't even bother to look at their numbers in their respective careers.
Jones murders Brett offensively (even after adjusting for the era), and Brett was the better defender by a bit throughout their careers. I'm leaning Brett, but after taking a closer look, it very well might be Chipper.
In the end, I'm leaning Brett, but my God Chipper is right there.

Chipper. He’s beat as a fielder, but Chipper was great offensively at his peak. Brett was close though.
And he’s a boyhood idol.
