Bob Friend falls 3 wins short of 200, but he and Bobo are the two guys who immediately come to mind for 'good pitchers with losing records'. 107 ERA+ is better than Jim Kaat, but luck wasn't with them.
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
