The Thanksgiving Thinker: Not taking a day off

PrintIt may be a holiday, but you can't make the Thinker take a week off.
Actually, players who don't take days off are today's featured topic. Ten players have appeared in at least 160 games in a season as a Brewer. How many can you name in five minutes?
Again, here are the rules: Post your score in the comments, but do not comment on any specific answer until after 6 pm Central time, so everyone gets a chance to try it out without having it spoiled for them. And, of course, there's no reason to cheat here, because there's no prizes.
There are a handful of gimmes in here, but I'd be surprised if anyone gets them all: there's one name on the list I never would have thought of. If you manage to get them all, though, post your time along with your score in the comments.
Have fun, and don't forget to post your score in the comments!

This isn’t a hard one - given time and a non-distracting 2-year-old, I could have gotten 8 or 9.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Yeah, I think most people will know a fair number of them.
But even if all of us worked together for half an hour, I doubt we’d think of the tenth.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

I got 9 of them, annoyed I didn't think of the tenth
I did get the one I suspect you think everyone will miss.
I can't imagine the one you missed, then
Surprised to see Rickie Weeks on the list.

Huh
I thought about including the 35 guys who had played in at least 158, but thought “Nah, no one will get all ten.”
I guessed wrong, I guess.

I would never have gotten the one I missed

You and I probably missed the same one
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
My reply skills are epic

I got 6
No kid excuse, just not very smart. Though I could remember one nickname, just not the name of the player to go with it. I’ll give myself 6.5
He was better than Tim Johnson
He almost won ROY….
True Story —
Many years ago, I was at some sort of signing for the Boomer…. Some guy ahead of me handed Boomer a media guide, or yearbook…. Boomer started paging through it, and came across a picture of Pedro Garcia… He shook his head and said “Oh man, Pedro Garcia. Pedro my man Pedro, Del Crandall screwed you in the ass.”
That is both my best Pedro Garcia and Del Crandall story…
Check out the wicked reply skills…..

Who the hell is Pedro Garcia?

Hey everybody
This is very off-topic but I have to know. Did Son of Clung really get cut??? That would be very disappointing.
No, not yet.
But he doesn’t think that he’s going to be back next year.
