Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2022 revision of our top 50 Milwaukee Brewers.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National/American League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

The Brewers are coming off another year where they made the post-season, and they are loaded with young talent, two of which make their debuts on this list.

As always, we present the top five, which remain unchanged from last year.

1. Robin Yount

2. Paul Molitor

3. Ryan Braun

4. Cecil Cooper

5. Prince Fielder

You can find the entire list here.

Christian Yelich, who is a former MVP for the team, inched up one spot to #10.

Pitcher, Brandon Woodruff, debuts at #31, and his teammate, and current Cy Young winner, Corbin Burnes comes in at #43.

The alterations remove Kevin Seitzer and Bill Hall from the list.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Corbin Burnes made the Milwaukee Brewers two years after he was drafted in the Fourth Round, and after he debuted in July of 2018, he rattled off seven wins out of the bullpen with a 2.61 ERA.  That promising start unraveled in 2019, where his ERA exploded to 8.82 with a WHIP of 1.837.  The Brewers had no idea what to expect from Burnes in the COVID plagued 2020 Season, and thankfully for all parties concerned, Burnes had a very good comeback season, where he was sixth in Cy Young voting, with a 4-1 Record and a 2.11 ERA.

Burnes exploded in 2021, winning the Cy Young, while leading the NL in ERA (2.43), ERA+ (176), FIP (1.63), SO/9 (12.6) and SO/BB (6.88), had a record of 11-5 and struck out 234 batters.  He won the Cy Young, and though he did not repeat in 2022, he was in contention, finishing seventh, and winning his first Strikeout crown (243), with another All-Star and sub-three ERA.  Burnes followed that with another All-Star year, though with reduced numbers (10-8, 3.39 ERA with 200 Strikeouts), though that was where it ended for him in Milwaukee as he was traded to Baltimore.

As a Brewer, Burnes posted a record of 45 and 27 with 870 Strikouts.

In any other era, the current career stats of Brandon Woodruff don’t look like they belong on a top 50 list of any team, but there is no doubt that Woodruff earns his spot here in the modern era.

As of this writing, Woodruff is entering his seventh year in the Majors, all of which have been as a Brewer.  Woodruff debuted in 2017, but broke out in 2019, becoming a permanent starter and an All-Star, going 11-3 with a 3.62 ERA.  Over the two years after, Woodruff might have had a losing record (12-15), but he has been dynamic, finishing in the top five in WHIP, the top ten in ERA and SP/BB in both years, and led the NL in cPWA in 2021.

An All-Star in 2021, Woodruff did not make the mid-season classic in 2022, but had a much better record (13-4) with 190 Strikeouts.  2023 was promising, but injuries held him to only 11 Starts, though he went 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA.  This looks to be it for Woodruff as a Brewer, as he was non-tendered by the team.

Aaron Rodgers went into the 2021/22 NFL campaign as the reining MVP after a stellar year last season. At one point in the off-season, his future in Green Bay looked uncertain. However, off-field disputes were resolved just in time for the new campaign.

Rodgers continues to play at the top of his game and a fourth regular season MVP could be set to go his way. The Packers QB has led his side to a 10-3 win record through their opening 13 games of the season.

Green Bay are looking set to be one of the top seeds in the NFC heading into the playoffs. The NFC North crown looks safe, as the Packers are the only team in the division with a winning record.

Rodgers and Green Bay fans will want much more than a divisional title this season. They are +1000 in the sports betting online at Betfair for the Super Bowl.

Given how well Rodgers is performing, the Packers are one of the leading betting tips every week in the NFL. Regardless of the opposition, Rodgers keeps finding a way of unlocking defenses and putting up big points for his team.

Career Numbers Are Very Impressive

Just like Tom Brady, Rodgers remains one of the leading QBs in the NFL. The 38-year-old is certain to be in the Hall of Fame as soon as he becomes eligible. He is right up there with some of the greatest in history to have played in that position, including Brett Favre, Joe Montana and Dan Marino.

Rodgers was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft in 2005. Since then, he has consistently produced impressive stats every season he has been involved in. Arguably his biggest strength is the way he looks after the ball. He has finished the league leader in touchdowns-to-interceptions ratio five times.

The Green Bay man has recorded 433 regular season touchdowns and has thrown for over 50,000 passing yards. He will have seen what Brady has been able to achieve into his 40s and if he can continue at that age, he may be set to smash many NFL records.

Green Bay Haven’t Reached Super Bowl Since 2010

Although it is not going to impact his inclusion in the Hall of Fame, Rodgers has only won the Super Bowl once in his career. That victory came in 2010 when his side beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 at the Cowboys Stadium.

In what may be his last year in Wisconsin, the Green Bay QB will be hoping to deliver another Vince Lombardi Trophy to his franchise. Becoming a two-time Super Bowl winner will help the reining MVP elevate himself into an exclusive club of QBs who have prevailed in the biggest game in the sport more than once.

Rodgers will be focussed on finishing this season strongly. If he does get awarded the MVP at the NFL Honors in February, he will be one of only two players to land that prize four times after Peyton Manning.
