Brewers

Though I enjoy analyzing and breaking down the Milwaukee Brewers, I'm still a fan. The Brewers appeared in their lone World Series the year I was born, so I'm in that middle ground of experience with this franchise where many younger fans and plenty of older fans exist and might see the club differently. This is my take as a baseball-obsessed fan.

Closers may get the bulk of the credit out of any bullpen, but someone needs to pitch those innings between the starter and closer. Let's look at the best relievers the Brewers have fielded in the middle innings.

The Brewers are famous for run prevention, but how deep is the pool between that reality and them fading in to non-competition? Another low cost arm wouldn't hurt, so why not try and grab on to the talents of a former rival? 

In the 54 seasons (1969-2022) the Milwaukee Brewers/Seattle Pilots have played, there have been a lot of players. Some have stood out more than others, though. So who were the best players to play each position? We will start with catcher – those who donned the “tools of ignorance” and work our way around the diamond.

One of the classic songs of baseball, “Centerfield" by John Fogerty, features an aspiring center fielder who wants to play. For the Brewers, though, center field has seen some iconic players and some who were very well-loved by the fans.

The Brewers have had some legendary closers in their 54-year franchise history. Let's look at the five best.

Love it or hate it, in the 50 years since it was adopted, the designated hitter has been a part of Brewers' history. Let's look at the five best over the past half-century.

Coop. Prince. Boomer. Big Sexy. First base has seen some of the biggest icons over the 54 seasons of Milwaukee Brewers' history. If you were looking for some of the best offensive seasons in Brewers' history, they were often posted by first basemen.

Left field sometimes gets a bad rap – often being compared to where the crazy ideas come from. For the Brewers, though, left fielders have included some dominating defense and outstanding offense from players who locked the position down for years, many of whom were superb sluggers.

Right field has been a revolving door for the Brewers, but some right fielders have delivered monster seasons for the Crew.

Several Brewers have dazzled at second base in the 54 seasons the franchise has existed. Some of the fans’ favorite Brewers held down the keystone of the infield, whether it was outstanding offense, dazzling defense, or just solid standbys. Which ones were the best?

Over the years, the shortstop position has seen some iconic players across Major League Baseball. The Brewers have seen some great ones in their time, and some of that wasn’t so long ago.
