if the Padres slash their payroll by $34m, they're one Jake Peavy blown elbow away from probably the first winless season in MLB history

Better yet, Peavy will be the first 20 game loser with an ERA under 2.75.

He didn't quite lose 20...but Blyleven lost 17 with a 2.52 era one year and a 2.66 era the following year.

My favorite is still Nolan Ryan going 8-16 in 1987 despite his league-leading 2.76 ERA.

If that happened, he'd be the first in a very long time but not the first ever.

Which is why the chump isn't in the Hall of Fame... It's 300 wins or no dice buddy! Everyone knows Wins determine greatness, it's kind of like Jeter's intangibles... wins just show that you are great at being a team player and you have the knack for motivating those around you to play harder and better!
