Memories of Tim Stauffer

[Edgy MD]

Some last-minute Christmas shopping going on. And all the fans of the Diamondbacks will be getting a minor-league Tim Stauffer contract under their trees.

who? I just assumed this guy was a Lorem Ipsum.

Already forgotten.

Still have his lasagna in the freezer.

He wasn't around long enough for me to get a photo of him. Or to remember anything about him.

See, if you bought what the TV and movies were selling you, you'd think to cook the Stauffing INSIDE the Tim, but really, it's safer and gets you better results if you cook Stauffing and Tim separately. Feel free to stuff some Aramis in the Tim cavity instead, for smell and flavor.

Tim's most lasting place in Mets history is sort of as a stick in the eye of Dillon Gee.

When they needed a handful of innings to be eaten as they set their staff in September, the most obvious answer would have been Gee. But Dillon, having taken his demotion so bitterly, would likely have been an awkward presence in the clubhouse, walking dead — and not a little galled — among his old friends. My guess is Sandy didn't want that sort of specter hanging around and went for Stauffer because he was more easily disposed of without scenes and distractions.

John Mitchell
David West
Glendon Rusch
Jorge Velandia
Phil Humber
Tim Stauffer

The last Mets to make their first appearances in playoff-qualifying seasons. Of the eight, Stauffer was among the seven who didn't attend high school alongside Vida Blue.

That would've made a great (and tough) trivia question. You coulda, for example, put that list out there and asked us what it signified. Or left Stauffer off the list and asked us to name the Met that continues the pattern.

Don't tell me that you knew that list off the top of your head.

Did you?

He's human, after all. He misspelled Hudson's first name.

Met-a culpa on Hudson. Have always thought he's Jessie for reasons that are obscure to me.

Last Mets In is a familiar topic to me.
