Insiders today leaked the rumor that the NY Mets were considering Staub as a lefthanded bench hitter, clubhouse chef, and late inning defensive replacement. The supposed offer is for $75,000 plus incentives, one of which, worth an additional $200,000 is premised on his ability to drop 250 lbs. by March 15. Bud Selig, in an apparent nod to the Wilpons, is reported to have suspended the major league minimum in this one particular case. Staub, who currently holds the Mets and major league lifetime record for barbequed rib consumption is presently employed by ‘Martha Stewart Living’ Magazine and is a commentator for Crisco.com.
