An Olympic Gold Medalist with the United States in 2000, Ben Sheets would establish himself as the ace of the Milwaukee Brewers for nearly a decade.  Sheets would be a four time All Star and would have his best season in 2004, where even with a losing record he finished eighth in Cy Young voting.  That season he would lead the National League in SO/BB.  Sheets would unfortunately be an oft-injured hurler, which prevented him from living up to his full potential, though he did secure a record of 86 and 83 with 1,206 Strikeouts and a 3.72 ERA as a Brewer.
