Answer: Kyle Davies

Kyle Davies began his MLB career with the Atlanta Braves in 2005 at the young age of 21. He was with the team for two and a half seasons and did not have much success.

Davies career numbers are not very good but to pitch eight years at the highest level something has to be working. He seemed to always do the bare minimum to keep his team in ballgames and sometimes that is all a starting pitcher needs to do.
