18. B.J. Surhoff

Vaughn’s teammate for a number of seasons, B.J. Surhoff lands at no. 18. He was selected by the Brewers with the first overall pick in the 1985 draft out of UNC. He made his debut just two years later.

Although his stats don’t jump off the page, with just a .274/.323/.380 slash line over his nine-year Brewers’ career, her versatility is what set him apart. Throughout his time in Milwaukee, he played every single position except pitcher. He mostly played catcher, but was used all over the field throughout his career.

His time with the Brewers ended in 1995 when he elected to sign with the Baltimore Orioles in free agency. Despite having the best season of his career in Baltimore, his positional flexibility will always have a place in Brewers’ history.
