As the Brewers are one of MLB’s younger franchises, their all-time roster by wins above replacement lacks some of the marquee names associated with older teams like the Yankees, Tigers, and Red Sox — but it does boast a 2-time American League MVP in Robin Yount. Yount — with a WAR of 77.0 accrued over 20 seasons — contributed more to the Milwaukee’s success than any other player.
MILWAUKEE BREWERS ALL-TIME ROSTER
To maximize the combined WAR of the Brewers’ all-time roster, we placed Yount in the outfield rather than shortstop. This allowed us to hold spots for all three of the Brew Crew’s better-than-average infielders; Jim Gantner, Jeff Cirillo and Don Money. With a 21.4 WAR, outfielder Ben Oglivie just missed making the team.
