With all the discussion of a Prince Fielder extension, which would surely make him the highest paid player on the team for years to come, I began to wonder what players have previously held that distinction in Brewers history. So I made this Sporcle quiz of the highest paid Brewers for every season since 1985. It's probably not too difficult - there were only one or two I don't think I would have gotten. Give it a try!

Missed out on three players. Looking at some of those names along with their salaries really puts things into perspective.

20 as well

That $5 million contract seemed like a waste.

Which one?

The pitcher or the OF?

only missed 85

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Very good quiz.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

Noticably Absent

The one guy who I was suprised that never showed up was Jeff Cirillo. But basically he got traded away prior to getting a big contract.

by Infield Fly Rule on Mar 2, 2010 10:53 AM CST up reply actions  

yeah, i really expected him to be there.

guess when I was a big fan

nailed all of 1989, and most of them in every year from the beginning to 1992

19 on this one

16 without help by virtue of taking the other one first.

I’m getting better at these. Er, less bad.

but I missed some easy ones.

Q: Did you ever scout Corey Hart? What seems to be holding him back from being a good hitter for AVG?

A: The slider away. And that facial hair.

Missed 95(-6), 97 and 04. … Silly that it occurred to me to guess 99 but not 04.

Missed three players, all of which I should have had.
