Mike Schmidt was great ball player no doubt. But, I agree with you I'd take George Brett every time. Mike was a stud though, one big, quick cat at third.
Agree Schmidt and Brett are #1-2, and Brooks is likely #3. However a guy that's often overlooked is Eddie Mathews. Finished with over 500 HR and 1400 RBI, with 96 WAR. He's somewhere on a very short list of all time great 3Bs.

Longtime Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas always called him Michael Jack Schmidt.
Also, two other 3B who belong in the conversation are Adrian Beltre and Chipper Jones.
