Yovani Gollardo had six straight seasons with 10 Wins (two of which with 15 Wins) as a Starting Pitcher for the Brewers.  Gollardo was with Milwaukee for his first eight seasons, and would make the All Star Game in 2010 and finish seventh in Cy Young voting the year after.  Gollardo would also record 200 Strikeouts four years in a row, finishing in the top ten each time along with a pair of second place finishes in SO/9.  His Brewers tenure finished wish a respectable 89 and 64 record with 1,226 Strikeouts.
From the island of Puerto Rico, Sixto Lezcano made history by being the only player in MLB history to blast a grand slam on two different Opening Days (1978 and 1980).  Lezcano was with Milwaukee for seven seasons where he would twice blast 20 Home Runs.  His best season took place in 1979 where he would win the Gold Glove and put up a .321/.414/.573 Slash Line.  

Lezcano played for Milwaukee from 1974 to 1980, and would belt 102 Home Runs with 749 Hits.
Bill Wegman would spend all eleven years of his Major League service with the Milwaukee Brewers.  Wegman was a solid control pitcher who would finish in the top ten in BB/9 five times.  His best season was in 1991 where he went 15 and 7 with a 2.84 ERA that was good enough to finish third in the AL.  That year, he won the Hutch Award, which is given annually to the player who exemplifies “fighting spirit and competitive desire”.  That alone tells you all you need to know about Bill Wegman and why Milwaukee never let him go.

Wegman may have had a losing record of 81-90, but he gave everything he had in those 1,482.2 Innings he played.
Chris Bosio would spend seven seasons predominantly as a Starting Pitcher for Milwaukee where he would have four ten win seasons.  Bosio would go 67 and 62 for Milwaukee and would be known for his decent control, finishing first in BB/9 in 1992.  He would also finish in the top five twice in FIP, and would also finish three times in the top ten in WHIP as a Milwaukee Brewer.
