Well, Hornsby isn't as strong vR and isn't a lefty, so in e.g. lefty parks vs RHP FOTF Brett still fills a good niche (although if you wanted to run Hornsby vR you probably cut him). Boggs is so expensive that even many top teams can't afford him, so it's not like he's crowding out Brett.

And error rating doesn't really matter. At 3B you care about range (and I think arm does matter but some disagree), error doesnt nearly outweigh the ability to actually make plays via range and arm.

Of the batters listed, Brett and Hornsby are really the main two I see at the highest level. Perhaps Kaline on some budget teams as well.
