Saturday’s starter: The epitome of TBA

September

Near where the lineup is posted in the clubhouse, the Mets have listed “staff” as Saturday’s starter. In the past when the starter wasn’t determined until late, it would have a question mark. I’d say this would indicate the Mets may pitch just about everyone, including starters on their throw days. The starter will just be starter in name only.

UPDATE, 4:40 p.m.: A correction and an update. The correct term written on the wall in the clubhouse is “Staffinator.” Seriously.

Also, Manuel said he has “nothing in ink for Saturday.”

I heard Staffinator put up some good stats in the lower minors, but has essentially developed into nothing more than a AAAA retread.
