Answer: Nick Green
Nick Green began his MLB career with the Atlanta Braves at age 25 in 2004. He provided Atlanta with a versatile glove and decent bat for when regulars needed a day off or were injured.
Green played the same role for the majority of his 8 seasons in the MLB no matter what team he was on. He is the type of player that won’t be remembered but should be for doing a lot of the dirty work.
