    The best correct answer to this query is Chris Archer.

    I can't really explain why, but I loved Tony Graffanino as a Brewer. Gotta appreciate the scrappers :)

    I consider myself an avid baseball fan, and I thought I had a pretty good knowledge of Brewers' history. But for the life of me, I cannot recall anything about Adam Stern's time as a Brewer.

    For #12, it's hard to say no to the mid-90s look and the sweet 'stache Brian Harper brought to the party.

    Being a naive teenager in the '90s, I truly thought that the Brewers had the makings of an Atlanta Braves-type rotation with Cal Eldred, Scott Karl, free agent signee Ben McDonald, and "Big Daddy", #13, the huge flame-throwing 6'7" righty, Jeff D'Amico. Unfortunately, despite glimmers of ace-type stuff (including a whole season of great work in 2000), injuries and inconsistency caught up, and it wasn't meant to be for the once Brewers' future ace.

    Russell the Muscle's second appearance in this thread with #14!

    My pick for #15 wasn't here long, but made one heck of an impact after coming over in a 2018 deadline deal. A former starter, Drew Pomeranz was identified by David Stearns as a guy who could potentially pitch in a middle relief role down the stretch. Big Smooth was much more than that, coming in and immediately performing as a dominant relief arm in a variety of roles.

    I thought you were limited to a certain number of pitchers on the MLB roster.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    That is pretty much MLB average. Certainly not a great excuse to move the guy who has been the most consistent starter in your rotation to the pen.

    2.67 ERA in August says otherwise

    Did not expect Chourio to become Christian Yelich so soon, but here we are.

    #16 is 2018 Jewish Sports Hall of Fame inductee Jesse Levis. Levis was a reserve catcher for the Brewers from 1996-98.

    interesting ...

    Ken McMullen was once a slick-fielding 3B, but he ended his career as a DH with the 1977 Brewers. Of course, a different #17 also made his debut that season following McMulllen's release.

    One time Brewer fandom's favorite whipping boy, #18 ... Wes Helms!
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I know I love the obscure Brewers, but #19 can be no other than this man.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    #20 features "Stormy" Weathers' 2nd go-round with the 2009 Brewers to finish off his career. Weathers was a solid middle-to-back-end relief option for a few teams over his long run.

    LOL doesn't matter. 'Ole Triple 8s is still gonna hate em.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Do you remember that Logan Morrison was a Milwaukee Brewer? Because I sure didn't! I think I may have a little selective amnesia and PTSD regarding that 2020 season. Actually regarding that year as a whole.

    I was off the grid this weekend, so time to play some catch-up. First off, #24 is for speedy outfielder Chuckie Carr (RIP), perhaps best known for defying Phil Garner's orders and swinging at a 2-0 pitch after ignoring the take sign. "That ain't Chuckie's game," he said. "Chuckie hacks on 2-0." For #23, it can be no other than my former namesake, and perhaps the Brewer prospect that was most disappointing for failing up to expectations, Joey Meyer. Meyer had prodigious power, but like many power hitters, struggled to make consistent contact at the big league level. His claim to fame is hitting a HR that carried a record 582 feet at Denver's Mile High Stadium as a member of the AAA Zephers. And for #22, another former power-hitting 1B prospect that failed to live up to expectations, Kevin Barker. He was once considered a future franchise cornerstone, but failed to show the power required for the position during multiple auditions in 1999 and 2000, and after the Brewers acquired Richie Sexson, his time as a Brewer was effectively over.

    So ... which bullpen is going to crack first? Neither offense seems to want to win this game.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    While the loss last night doesn't really mean much in the scheme of the season, considering the team's commanding lead in the division, losing like they did, especially against this team and hired-gun Arenado, still sucks. Hopefully they use it as motivation and blow the Cards out of the water today.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    A big part of the perceived "value" is age-related as well. Joey Ortiz just turned 26, and DL Hall will be 26 in September, so they are looked at by the industry as near finished products. Coby Mayo is only 22, though, and has more theoretical upside because of that.
