Constructing the best Milwaukee Brewers team of all-time

2018 Jeremy Jeffress

Jeffress has come and gone many times in the Brewers’ organization but always seems to come back better than ever. 2018 was his third stint with the team and his best one of them all. He threw a career-high 76.2 innings and accrued a 1.29 ERA to go along with a .0991 WHIP and 10.4 SO9. He’s a great middle-late inning guy on this squad.

2011 John Axford

Axford seemingly came out of nowhere to become one of the best closers in Brewers’ history. The 46 saves he racked up in 2011 is still a franchise record. His advanced numbers don’t match up with the other greats on this list, meaning he won’t be finishing many, if any, games for the club. Nonetheless, he’s a great addition.

2017 Corey Knebel

It’s easy to forget just how dominant Knebel was just a few years ago, but here he is making the squad. He had a 1.78 ERA and a 1.158 WHIP that season as he made his first and only All-Star game. He’s a solid way to round out the bullpen and a guy who eat some innings when necessary.

2011 Yovani Gallardo

It may seem odd to have Gallardo in the bullpen, but every team needs a long-inning reliever to eat parts of the game when necessary. Gallardo just missed out on a starting spot, but he’ll be a luxury in this role. There were a couple of different seasons we could’ve rolled with, but 2011 it is. That’s when he had a 3.49 ERA, 1.215 WHIP and 9.0 SO9.
