Dan Schatzeder was a Montreal Expo twice (1977-79 & (1982-86) where both times he was not considered to be an elite (or even a above average) Pitcher. That did not stop the southpaw from putting together very solid runs predominantly as a spot starter and middle reliever. Schatzeder would be with Montreal for eight seasons and was a lot more valuable than his traditional statistics. He had a 37-31 Record for the Expos.

What certainly assists an Schatzeder on this list is that he was an above average hitter for a Pitcher as he had a .260 Batting Average.
