19. Greg Vaughn

Greg Vaughn began his career with the Brewers and spent the first eight years in Milwaukee. The franchise was fortunate enough to get most of Vaughn’s prime including two All-Star appearances in 1993 and 1996.

During that time, he jacked 169 home runs,158 doubles and 566 RBIs. His .246/.333/.459 slash line is also impressive. Despite helping the team win 92 games in 1992, he never made the playoffs with the Brewers. As the mid 90’s came around, Milwaukee was trending in the wrong direction and decided to move on from Vaughn.

The Brewers traded him to the San Diego Padres for a number of players and Vaughn became a free agent the following offseason. He continued to find success after his Brewers’ career, but he did enough to land at no. 19 on this list.
