The Thursday Thinker: Never Been Started

Can you name the most prolific Brewer relievers never to start a game?

Brad Mills-US PRESSWIRE

There probably won't be much fanfare, but there's a chance John Axford will make a bit of Brewer history sometime in early 2013. Axford has pitched in relief in 206 major league games but has never made a start. If he makes 13 more relief appearances in 2013, he'll move up to fifth on the Brewer all time list.

All told, 26 pitchers have thrown in at least 100 games for the Brewers without ever making a start. How many can you name in ten minutes?

This week we're trying out a new Sporcle feature and embedding the game right here. If it doesn't work for you here, click this link to try it over at their site.

In the past we've asked people not to post spoilers in the comments, so everyone gets a chance to try out the quiz without having it spoiled from them. I'm scrapping that rule this year and simply warning you that comments may contain spoilers. Also, please use the comments to post your score but remember there's no reason to cheat here, because there aren't any prizes.

If you somehow manage to get all of these, be sure to post your time along with your score in the comments.

If you finish this quiz and you're looking for more Brewer-related Sporcle quizzes, here are this offseason's other thinkers:

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