An All-Star in 1978, Lary Sorenen would go 18 and 12 and finish 2nd in BB/9.  Sorensen was a very good control pitcher who would have two more seasons with 12 Wins or more and two more top ten finishes in BB/9.  Overall, he gave Milwaukee three good seasons as a Starting Pitcher, which was the first team he played for.  Sorensen had a Brewers record of 52-46.
The first Pitcher to ever win 20 Games for the Brewers, Jim Colborn easily had his best year in Major League Baseball when he accomplished that feat.  That year Colborn was named to the All Star Team and finished 6th in Cy Young Voting.  He would have four other seasons with Milwaukee, but did not approach his accomplishments from 1973.

38. Cal Eldred

A Starting Pitcher for most of his career, Cal Eldred’s entire 1990’s was spent with the Milwaukee Brewers.  Eldred’s peak season was in 1993 when he led the American League in Games Started, Innings Pitched and Batters Faced.  He would go 16 and 16 that year and would have 10 Wins or more four times as a Brewer.  Overall, with Milwaukee, Eldred posted a reocrd of 64-65 with 686 Strikeouts.
The best offense of John Briggs’ career occurred in the four seasons and change he played with the Milwaukee Brewers.  He would have two seasons where he would hammer 20 Home Runs, and his lowest production in that metric (for a full season anyway) was 17.  He would finish his run with the Brewers with 492 Hits and 80 Home Runs.
