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.
Jonathan Lucroy had a very good run with Milwaukee going to two All-Star Games.  Lucroy showed skill both with his glove and his bat, and in 2014, he would put together his most complete season where he would lead the NL in Doubles and put together a 2.0 Defensive bWAR season, which earned him The Fielding Bible Award.  That year he would finish fourth in National League MVP voting and finished the highest in bWAR for Position Players.

With Milwaukee, Lucroy had 806 Hits, batted .284 and belted 79 Home Runs.
A popular figure in Milwaukee, Outfielder, Geoff Jenkins was with the Brewers for all but his final seasons in the majors, where he would win the World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies.  In Milwaukee, Jenkins would have seven campaigns where he would go over 20 Home Runs and was named the team MVP in 2000.  In 2003, he would represent Milwaukee in the All-Star Game, and compiled 1,221 Hits and 212 Home Runs as a Brewer.
