Brewer Fanatic

Who are numbers 9-10 on this list?

It's funny that people are dismissing Burnitz, but automatically include Fielder in their list

 

Burnitz played 5 seasons and then a partial as a Brewer, and amassed 15.6 WAR.

 

Fielder played 6 full seasons and a cup of coffee in a 7th season as a Brewer and amassed 16.8 WAR.

 

As far as the value they provided the team, they were virtually identical. Fielder was below average (because of his atrocious defense) in 3 of his 6 full seasons, and yet he's accounted being one of the best Brewers of all time. I have nothing but fond memories of the big guy, but to dismiss Burnitz .... eh, I think that's a bit unfair (IMO)

 

And we traded him for Glendon freakin' Rusch

That was something of a trade...

 

From the Glendon Rusch transaction record:

 

January 21, 2002: Traded as part of a 3-team trade by the New York Mets with Lenny Harris to the Milwaukee Brewers. The New York Mets sent Benny Agbayani, Todd Zeile and cash to the Colorado Rockies. The Colorado Rockies sent Ross Gload and Craig House to the New York Mets. The Colorado Rockies sent Alex Ochoa to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Milwaukee Brewers sent Jeromy Burnitz, Lou Collier, Jeff D'Amico, Mark Sweeney and cash to the New York Mets.

 

Lou Collier is one of those players that, for the life of me, I just cannot remember anything about.

I'd take Johnny Logan over any Brewer of the last 25 years for the last 2 spots.
