24. Jim Slaton

Jim Slaton was a key Starting Pitcher for Milwaukee through the 1970s and as of this writing still holds the team record for Wins and Innings Pitched.  Slaton won 10 or more Games in nine seasons and went to the All-Star Game in 1977.  He also has a World Series win in their lone appearance in the Fall Classic, which was during his second Brewers run when he moved to the bullpen.

With Milwaukee, Slaton pitched in 268 Games and had a record of 117-121.
The best run of Jeromy Burnitz’ career was the five years and change (1996-2001) he spent as a Milwaukee Brewer.  Burnitz would smack 30 Home Runs four years in a row, earning MVP votes in two of them, and going to the All-Star Game in one.  He would hit 165 Home Runs as a Brewer and was one of the few highlights on Brewers teams that were generally not very good.

With Milwaukee, Burnitz had 165 Home Runs, 714 Hits with a .258 Batting Average.
Greg Vaughn would get his start with the Milwaukee Brewers where he showcased some power with three consecutive 20 Home Run seasons, and in 2006 would have 31 in Milwaukee before he was traded to the San Diego Padres, a team he would later belt 50 dingers for.  While his most explosive offensive seasons were not as a Brewer, he was still a two-time All-Star in Milwaukee and had 169 Home Runs for the team.

29. Dan Plesac

To date, Dan Plesac is easily the best reliever in Milwaukee Brewers' history.  Plesac, went to three straight All-Star Games (1987-89), carrying the Brewers bullpen in the late 1980s.  He would finish in the top five in Saves three times

As of this writing, Plesac is the franchise leader in Saves (133), Games Pitched (365) and Games Finished (269).
