During their annual Hot Stove Luncheon this morning, the Bisons officially announced Tim Teufel as their Manager for the 2011 season.

Teufel, 52, is entering his 8th season as a minor league manager in the Mets organization and his first at the Triple-A level. He began his managerial career in 2003 with short-season Brooklyn and earned a 47-28 record and a division championship. Teufel then spent five of the next six seasons as a Single-A manager in St. Lucie before joining Double-A Binghamton in 2010 (66-76 record).

Is he though?

The jury is still out on both as far as I’m concerned. What do we know about Teufel other than he was stuck at single A for 5 seasons not impressing anyone?

He has five years of experience.

If he was “stuck” in Single-A because of a lack of impressing the front office (as opposed to being happy to be in Florida, or maybe a logjam of managers for those higher-up positions ahead of him), he must’ve changed whatever it was that they didn’t like about him, because he did get that promotion.

We know next to nothing about Teufel as a manager.

Two people on this site know whether he’s a slow hook.
Five people know whether he keeps an up-to-date laptop in his office.
That many know what his former players tend to think of him.

2010 Mets: 81-81 Pythagorean record. 656 Runs Scored, 652 Runs Allowed.
