Cey and Ted Simmons are overlooked because they played at the same time as arguably the best ever at their position.
While Schmidt would be my pick, I think it is very fair to say the Brett never had nearly the same pieces around him. Never had a Carlton pitching at the top of his staff, though Saberhagen was good...Al Cowens or Willie Aiken were the guys who generally protected Brett, which Luzinski was a far more feared threat...
