13. Geoff Jenkins

Poor Geoff Jenkins. He endured a ton of poor baseball in Milwaukee, sticking with the franchise from 1998 until 2007. During that time, they suffered eight losing seasons, one .500 campaign and one winning season. The year after he left? They made the playoffs for the first time in 25 years.

Regardless, Jenkins, who was a first-round pick in the 1985 draft had a beautiful Brewers’ career. He hit 20 or more home runs seven times and was regularly around the 100 RBI mark despite ever actually reaching it.

His .277/.347/.496 slash line is very impressive and he’s one of the best players in franchise history. He quietly went to work every day and never complained despite experiencing slumps and lesser playing time over the last couple of years of his career. Jenkins made a sacrifice for Brewers’ fans everywhere and endured the lowest of the low for the franchise.
