Matt Cain played all 13 of his seasons and 342 Games with the San Francisco Giants, a rarity in this day and age.  Cain made the starting rotation immediately and while he lost a lot of games early in his career, he hardly had a lot of run support and actually led the NL in Games Started in a season where he went 8 and 14 (2008).  He had an inverse record of 14 and 8 in 2009 and went to what would be his first of three All Star Games.  In those three seasons he had an ERA under 3.00 and he would assist the Giants win the World Series in 2010 and 2012 (he also threw a perfect game that year) and also won a third in 2014 though he was not a factor on the post season.  Cain retired with a losing record (104-118) but again that was not a reflection of his ability but lack of support early in his career.  Cain will always be known for the leadership he brought to San Francisco, which is why the team always held on to him.

Jonathan Broxton appeared in 694 Games over his Major League Baseball career and never started any of them as he was either a closer, a set-up man or in some other form of relief.  Broxton’s best two years were with the Los Angeles Dodgers where he went to back-to-back (2009-10) All-Star Games.  In L.A. he was the closer for a time and he peaked with a 36 Save campaign in 2009.  He would later play for Kansas City, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and St. Louis and he would record 118 Saves over his 13-year career.

John Lackey is one of the few Pitchers in Major League Baseball to win a World Series Ring with three different teams (Anaheim 2002, Boston 2013 & the Chicago Cubs 2016) and did so as a key figure in all of them. 

A member of the Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Championship team, Joe Blanton arrived in Philly as part of a mid-season trade to go for the championship.  He came from Oakland where he had a 16 Win season two years prior where he also finished 10^th in ERA.  Blanton would later play for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Kansas City Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals and would retire with a record of 101 and 97.
