The Thursday Thinker: Know Your Cactus League Brewers
This week the challenge ahead of you is simple: The Brewers have invited 54 players to major league spring training. How many can you name in ten minutes?
Here's one hint that might help you: The quiz accepts last name-only submissions, but gets messed up by answers with spaces in their last names. If, for example, noted one act play star Gritty von Canthitalick was a correct answer, the quiz would accept "Canthitalick," but not "von Canthitalick."
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.
I guess it wouldn't be completely impossible for one of you to get all of these. If you do, post your time along with your score in the comments.
Have fun, and don't forget to post your score in the comments!
If you've finished that one and you're looking for more Brewer Sporcle today, here are this offseason's other quizzes:
- Brewer relievers with a career WPA above 1.000.
- Name the closers with more career saves than Dan Plesac.
- Name the Brewers who have been worth -10 runs or less defensively in a season.
- Name the Brewers who have played at least 740 games at one position.

I missed one 2011 Brewer, but the rest I had no clue.
"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."

Missed Juan Perez, Jeff Bianchi, Manzanillo (damn…), and Meadows.
Reading comprehension or time telling fail?
do not comment on any specific answer until after 6 pm Central time

Something wrong with the quiz though. I tried every spelling of Counsell I could think of…
Mark Attanasio is the best.

And I think I had 33 of them in the first 3 minutes. Then I sat there….and sat there…and felt stupid.

Could be worse. Definitely some names I should have thought of, but I got most of the 40 man roster and a few others.
I’m also giving myself 45 because Gibbons is not on the list yet.
You're right
I read “without” too quickly when reading the mug and saw it as “with”.
Darn. 44 it is.

Would have been 37, but for some reason couldn’t spell a catcher’s name correctly….
Personally, I think we got hosed on that one! - Harry Doyle
