What would this team of truly, deeply, inescapably bad players look like? Well, there would be fill-ins. There would be Jake Peavy, likable, unassuming. I get the idea of Peavy. You saw the idea of Peavy -- it helped the Giants make the postseason last year. There's a rhythm, a groove that he finds. He was a part of the Red Sox last year as they sank into the dark matter.
