A raw athlete from the Twins organization, Carlos Gomez was traded to the Brewers in 2010, bringing with him unmatched speed but an undisciplined approach at the plate.

In 2012, Gomez achieved a new level of production with 19 home runs and 37 stolen bases, highlighting his athleticism. He followed with a historic 2013 season, earning his first Gold Glove, the first Brewer in 31 years, and his first All-Star selection. He finished with a career-high 24 homers, 40 stolen bases, ranked 9th in MVP voting, and led the National League in bWAR (7.6).

At this time, Jenkins was also showing great work with the leather, winning the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award in back-to-back seasons (2012–2013) and earning a reputation for robbing home runs at the wall. In 2014, he reached a second consecutive All-Star plateau, batting .284 with 23 home runs and 34 stolen bases.

In the middle of the 2015 season, they traded Gomez and Mike Fiers to the Houston Astros in July for a package of prospects that included Josh Hader and Domingo Santana.  As a Brewer, Gomez compiled 601 hits, 87 home runs, and 152 stolen bases.

Jeff Cirillo, an 11th-round pick in 1991, was a steady right-handed hitter and a fixture at third base. Though he played for several teams, his time in Wisconsin marked him as one of the most consistent contact hitters for the Brewers.

Debuting in 1994, Cirillo quickly rose to the top tier of American League hitters. From 1996 to 1998, he showed a thorough understanding of the strike zone, batting at least .321 twice and earning his first All-Star spot in 1997. He displayed a professional style centered on line drives and power between gaps, hitting 46 doubles in two consecutive seasons.

His best season with the Brewers was in 1999, a year that cemented his spot in the record books. He achieved a career-high 198 hits and a .326 batting average. He finished the year third in the league in hits.  Cirillo was traded to Colorado after that year in a high-stakes gamble, but he returned to the Brewers in 2005 as a veteran presence. He showcased a resilient second act, batting .319 in 2006 and recording his 1,000th hit as a Brewer on the season's final day.

From Panama, Ben Oglivie joined the Brewers in late 1977 as part of a trade with the Detroit Tigers, a move that placed a thoughtful, cerebral power hitter into the heart of Milwaukee's emerging order.

In his debut year at the club in 1978, Oglivie showcased his value with a .303 batting average and 142 hits. In 1979, he stepped up further by hitting 29 home runs, demonstrating that his slim build packed unexpected power. This period cemented his role as a reliable professional who could support a lineup alongside rising stars such as Robin Yount and Paul Molitor, offering the veteran leadership essential for a successful team.

During the 1980 campaign, he demonstrated a season of exceptional efficiency. He showcased a complete mastery of American League pitching by hitting a career-high 41 home runs, making him the first non-American-born player to lead the AL in that category. He combined this power with 118 RBIs and earned his first of three consecutive All-Star selections, along with a Silver Slugger Award. At this peak, he was a strategic force in the middle of the lineup, famously capable of hitting both for average and power, delivering clutch production that kept the Brewers competitive in the race for the title.

Despite consistently hitting double-digit home runs into the mid-1980s, his standout season was in 1982, when he hit 34 homers and drove in 102 RBIs, aiding the American League pennant victory. He finished his career with Milwaukee after 1986, leaving a record of 176 home runs and 1,144 hits. His career demonstrates that perseverance and professionalism can lead to the top of the leaderboards, ultimately earning him a permanent place on the Brewers Wall of Honor.

In 1973, Don Money joined the Brewers through a seven-player deal with the Phillies, significantly enhancing their infield stability. Known as "Brooks" for his ability to emulate Brooks Robinson's defensive skills at third base, Money became the franchise’s first real star during its early years. Over eleven seasons with the team, he served as a versatile and strategic player, smoothly transitioning between second, third, and first base, while maintaining a reliable and professional presence at the top of the batting order.

In his first season with the club in 1973, Money topped the American League in fielding percentage at third base, setting a major league record by going 88 consecutive games without an error. Though he was a skilled defender, he also made a significant impact offensively, leading the league in at-bats in 1974 and earning his first of four All-Star honors.

Money hit his offensive peak between 1977 and 1978, producing some of the most outstanding seasons ever by a second baseman for the team. In 1977, he achieved a career-high power year, hitting 25 home runs and driving in 83 RBIs. The next year, in 1978, he batted .293 and became the first Brewer to be voted as a starting player in the All-Star Game.

The final years of his tenure saw him transition into a vital bench piece and designated hitter as the team reached its ultimate summit. He was a member of the 1982 "Harvey's Wallbangers" squad that captured the American League pennant, contributing key hits during the World Series against St. Louis.

Retiring after the 1983 season, Money left Milwaukee with 1,168 hits, 134 home runs, and a .270 batting average.
