The Prince Week Thursday Thinker: Brewer Iron Men

Maybe playing every day keeps Prince Fielder from spending the whole night chewing on his fingernails, as he's doing here.

We've got a lot of stuff on tap today, so instead of trying to cram it all into this afternoon I decided to move the Thinker up a bit. I'm still working on the Mug and it'll likely run sometime around 10:30. - KL

When Prince Fielder appeared in his 162nd game this season, he became just the fifth Brewer ever to do so and the first Brewer ever to do it twice. Because he started a few games at DH, however, he failed to tie the franchise record by starting 162 games at first base.

So this week's question is this: Eleven Brewers hold a franchise record for games played in a season at one position. How many can you name in four minutes?

The rules remain the same: Post your score in the comments but do not comment on any specific answer until after 6 pm Central time, so everyone gets a chance to try it out without having it spoiled for them. And, of course, there's no reason to cheat here, because there aren't any prizes.

Many or most of you are going to be able to name somewhere between 6-8 of these pretty easily. There are a couple of surprises, though, including one I probably wouldn't have guessed if you'd given me all day. If you manage to get all the answers, post your time along with your score in the comments.

Have fun, and don't forget to post your score in the comments!

Am I a failure as a fan?

I only got 5. I named those in about 2:30 minutes, and went blank after that.

I think I would have got 7 if DH was included.

You're right, I should have done that.

I spaced that one out.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Although I should’ve gotten 10 if I didn’t give up early.

For whatever reason, I can never remember the LF in these Brewer quizzes.

Though you wouldn’t think I would.

FanGraphs should consider a venue for a Gallery Night... they could even serve a cake with a Win Expectancy Chart of the 7/7/11 Brewers' game etched in the frosting, and 7-up. Oh, yeah - and t-shirts that say "SABR-Friday." I'm totally there.
