There was some sarcasm there, but his name always reminds me that he held the record for most career pinch hits. Not sure if he still does but that statement alone is not indicative of anything beyond, as you said, he got a lot of chances.

As a Milwaukee fan, the first player I thought of was Jim Gantner. May have been a decent fielder but even in an era when most 2nd basemen were light hitters you had to wonder why he lasted as long as he did beyond being well loved in the community and clubhouse

Gantner had a WAR of 22.3 in 17 seasons, so he had a little value.

Saw that was actually a bit surprised! Of course most of my memories of him were in his twilight

Honestly Rance Mulliniks was the first on that came to mind.

Joe Orsulak
14 years (so close!)
WAR 5.5

Not as bad as some here, actually surprised his WAR is this high, but Craig Counsell (though he's a fan favorite, including me, here):

16 years, 22.3 WAR, $21 million earned
