Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 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 League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

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

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Brewers won the National League Central, but were bounced by the New York Mets in three games in the Wild Card round.  There were two new entrants and a few notable player movements.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Robin Yount

2. Paul Molitor

3. Ryan Braun

4. Cecil Cooper

5. Teddy Higuera

You can find the entire list here. 

Former MVP Christian Yelich advanced one spot to #6.

Pitcher Brandon Woodruff held at #20.

Infielder Willy Adames and Pitcher Devin Williams enter at #40 and #41 respectively. 

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

In what was considered a minor surprise, the Tampa Bay Rays traded Willy Adames to Milwaukee early in the 2021 Season and immediately shifted the culture of the Brewers' clubhouse.

After arriving from Tampa Bay, Adames soared in production, batting .285 with 20 home runs in 99 games for the Brewers. He demonstrated expert shortstop skills and energized Milwaukee to an NL Central title. In 2022, he hit 31 home runs, the most by a Brewers shortstop in a season at that time.

In his last year in Milwaukee, he produced a career-defining performance, hitting 32 home runs and driving in a career-high 112 RBI. He finished tenth in MVP voting and became only the fourth player in franchise history to achieve a 30 HR and 20 SB season.

Adames signed a massive seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants after the 2024 season.  In Milwaukee, Adames compiled 107 home runs, 348 RBI, and a .244 batting average.

Willy Adames was traded early in his fourth MLB season from Tampa to Milwaukee, and it remans to be seen whether this is a transaction that the Rays will regret in the future.
