Returning this offseason is a series called 'Inside the Milwaukee Brewers Players Project.' Each week, we plan to roll out a piece featuring three new bios in the Milwaukee Brewers Players Project, with a summary for each player and links to the complete bios, including stats, baseball cards, and short bios.

This week, we feature the 'Three Jonathans.' Infielders Jonathan Villar and Jonathan Schoop, along with catcher Jonathan Lucroy, now grace the Milwaukee Brewers Players Project. Enjoy!

Jonathan Lucroy (2010-16)
'Luc' was a fan favorite, with his nickname being screamed by the faithful at Miller Park during his seven-year tenure in Milwaukee. The likable catcher was arguably one of the best catchers in Brewers history. He is tied for 10th best with a .284 career batting average, and his 53 doubles in 2014 are tied for the Brewers' lead in a single season with Lyle Overbay.

 

Jonathan Villar (2016-18)
Villar (pronounced Vee-YAR) played a speed game, and his 62 stolen bases in 2016 led the major leagues and rank second behind Scott Podsednik's 70 steals in 2004.

 

Jonathan Schoop
After coming to Milwaukee in a trade from Baltimore that included Villar, Schoop played only 46 games for Milwaukee and was a major disappointment. The Brewers were hoping to get the player that smacked 57 home runs the two prior seasons, but instead got a player who batted .202/.246/.331 in just 124 at-bats for the Brew Crew.

 

Brewer Fanatic is proud to announce the release of the Milwaukee Brewers Players Project!

This project is an endeavor to collect as much information about past and present Brewers as possible, giving fans a repository of high-quality data about their favorite players.

This is a public, community-driven project… that means everyone is encouraged to participate!

Schoop came through with that grand slam against the Giants.
