Exercising to be a Backup

Found November 10, 2009 on Baseball Musings:
62
Jason Varitek decided to stay with the Red Sox rather than test free agency. Maybe he figures it’s better to be a backup on a very good team than a starter on a poor one. I wonder how many teams had a part-time player as the captain?
