It's clear to me who I want manning the hot corner, George Brett.

Small sample sizes such as "post season batting" can be so misleading. You make it seem as if Brett was somehow Mr. Clutch throughout his career in the post season. What if 1981 playoffs George Brett shows up? 1984? Again, if we are just looking at one game as a sample size and are willing to look at 150 at bats in the playoffs versus an entire career, why not just go with performance in one game? Didn't Rennie Stennett go 8 for 8 one game? That would make him the choice over Hornsby etc.

Now... Brett is a fine choice at third no matter the criteria, especially in his prime. Just don't base it exclusively on what he did in 150 at bats over the course of 12 seasons.
