42. Dave May

The best season of Dave May’s career occurred in 1973 when he would make the All-Star Team and finish 8th in MVP voting.  That year, May would have 25 Home Runs with 189 Hits, a .303 Batting Average and would also lead the American League in Total Bases and Win Probability Added.  While Dave May would never have a season like that again, he would have another two decent campaigns with Milwaukee.  Over May's two runs in Milwaukee, he would have 652 Hits.
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.
