2018 Most Valuable Brewers Poll #1

Sadly, the 2018 Championship Season has concluded for our Milwaukee Brewers, and the annual six month depression that is the baseball offseason has begun. Our beloved Cream City Nine led us on a thrilling journey this year, winning 96 games, a division championship in game 163, and earned their first playoff berth in seven years. A loss in game seven of the NLCS, one game short of the World Series, was a tough pill to swallow as the season concluded, but the team should return hungry for even more next year.

Now it’s time to make your voice heard and cast your votes for the Most Valuable Brewers of 2018! We’ll be voting for the top 10 contributors with both position players and pitchers eligible for the ballot. The composite WAR data presented is based on an average of each individual’s WAR according to Fangraphs, Baseball-Reference, and Baseball Prospectus. For players that were traded, only their production with the Brewers will be counted.

Today we’re voting for the top Brewers player of 2018. Who do you think was the most valuable ballplayer to suit up for Milwaukee this year? Voting will run through today before this poll closes closes and we begin voting for the #2 MVBrewer.
