Jamie Moyer played forever and is the worst pitcher with 250 wins.

Jerry Reuss was exactly league average over 22 years, which doesn't make him bad but 22 years and league average is a very long career.

LaTroy Hawkins lasted 21 years as a subpar to mediocre reliever. He has to be up there. 106 ERA+ is pretty weak for a 1 inning relief pitcher
Moyer's record is 269-209 with an ERA+ of 103 so a little better than league average. Being the worst pitcher with 250 wins is like being the poorest of all the billionaires - still not a bad place to be.
