Tim Stauffer is out of the rotation race and headed to the bullpen.  What does this mean for the remaining contenders for the 5th starter spot in a very shaky and volatile starting staff!?

This has been an abundantly clear outcome since the day he was signed.

I don't think he was ever truly an option for starting. Maybe on paper or in the press it was hinted that it was a possibility, but I don't think it really was in anyone's mind. It was a matter of saying one thing to appease, perhaps, but really thinking another.

I think the fact they were so willing to indulge his starting preference suggests they don't see him as a high-upside bullpen project, which is disappointing.

Halfway to the correct decision, imo......
