7. Prince Fielder

It speaks to the greatness of the next six players when someone of Prince Fielder’s caliber only comes in at no. 7. The seventh overall pick of the 2002 MLB Draft, Fielder did not disappoint. Despite coming out of high school, it only took him three years to make it to the Majors. He played sparingly in 2005 before bursting out in 2006 when he also won the Rookie of the Year.

He made three All-Star teams during his time in Milwaukee, including his first in 2007. He hit a career-high 50 home runs and added 119 RBIs as well. He was rewarded with third place in the MVP voting as a result. His 141 RBIs in 2009 is the most by any players in a single season in Brewers’ history.

He often flirted with a .300 batting average despite never actually achieving it during his time in Milwaukee. Oddly enough, he reached that mark in his first year with the Detroit Tigers in 2012. His on-base percentage (.390) and OPS (.929) rank first in franchise history.
