The Thursday Thinker: Multiple Tours

PrintOk, I'll level with you guys: I forgot it was Thursday.
Thankfully, I have a spare Thinker reserved for just such an occasion: thanks to Infield Fly Rule for sending it to me.
Twenty-one players have played two separate stints for the Brewers over the course of their careers. 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.
This is a pretty tough one so odds are no one will get them all. If you do, though, post your time along with your score in the comments.
Have fun, and don't forget to post your score in the comments!

Good quiz
I only got 8 — but I am awarding myself some bonus points for getting one player that is not on the list.
So I got 58.

6er also
Kicking myself for missing/failing to remember the name of 2, otherwise I don’t think I would’ve gotten any others.
BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.

Thanks
KL for posting it. About three or four games into the season there should be a 22nd name added to the list.

"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."

Accidentally got one right while trying to guess a different player by the same name. But there were a couple more that I definitely should have had.

Ten for me
The nice thing about using someone else’s quiz is that I can fairly play it.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

I’’m waiting for you to get the one no one else has gotten yet.

Or the one that was left off of the quiz.

I bet he gets the one that was missing... the one no one has gotten probably not.

Are you thinking of a certain pitcher just acquired...
or someone else?

Someone else
I’ll email you

Quiz Updated
Thanks, not quite sure how he got missed.

You can take 50 bonus points like FtJ...
or wait for him to assign you two!

He was my second entry
I took the quiz after it was updated. But the pitcher you mention was my second guess, after a popular outfielder. I always get the old guys.
12
Plus the missing player that FtJ mentioned. I don’t think he means the newly acquired one. There is a pretty good pitcher from the 70’s who spent one year with Detroit missing from the list.
Bingo.
You get a 2 bonus points for that. — 14, puts you in second place.

way too much shoveling today. I was thinking of 3 specific players that I just completely bricked on their names.

Plus I’m giving myself 60 points for not guessing a player who wasn’t on the list.
"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!"

but no bonus for the forgotten player

I knew that Sheffield was not an answer.
Not yet!!! :)
