Who am I?

I'm a pitcher and in 2002 I had my best year ever. Last year I missed the entire season due to injury but this year I hope to be the 5th starter on a team hoping to win the East division for the 10th consecutive season. Who am I?

If you said Jon Lieber - you'd be wrong. The player in question is Paul Byrd who seems to get overlooked when people talk about the Atlanta Braves.
