Tim can't get a break

[urfan1]

The San Diego Padres have placed right-hander Tim Stauff­er

on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, with a strained pitching elbow.

Stauffer, who starred at the University of Rich­mond, had been expec­ted to start Thursday’s season-opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but manager Bud Black

said Sunday that Stauffer was bothered by soreness in his arm.

To take Stauffer’s ros­ter spot, the Padres re­called right-hander Brad Brach from Triple-A Tuc­son

Tim just signed a minor league contract with Padres. Will get him a look in spring training. He says he is about two weeks behind the rest of the pitchers because of his rehab. Hope all goes well. Good luck Tim!

You can't say the Pabutdres haven't treated Tim fairly. That may be a result of him telling them when he was drafted that he was hurt.
Honesty by him may have endeared him to their management.
He really hasn't been able to contribute much.
