Ned Yost's first gig as a Major League manager came with the Milwaukee Brewers, who he skippered from 2003-2008. Over his six seasons, the Brewers went from a 90-loss dormat to Division Champs, although just two weeks before the Brewers began their playoff run, they stunned the baseball world by dumping Yost as manager in favor of Dale Sveum (now Kansas City's hitting instructor).
The 2008 Brewers were quickly bounced from the playoffs, and the team floundered under new skipper Ken Macha. They won 96 games and reached the National League Championship Series in 2011 under manager Ron Roenicke, but the team has failed to win more than 83 games since then and completely collapsed last year after being in first place all summer.
