Williams sponsor on baseballreference says this about him.....

The Todd is the type of guy that hits a .38 Special concert before going catfishing at 2am with a cooler full of Stroh's. The Todd is America. He eats at Hardee's.

The Mets have had a high Todd Factor historically, though nothing like those Todd-hording Rockies, whose Todds probably still drink Stroh's even though the Coors is free.

Todds in Major League History:

Todd Belitz 2000-2001
Todd Benzinger 1987-1995
Todd Burns 1988-1993
Todd Coffey 2005-2006
Todd Cruz 1978-1984
Todd Dunn 1996-1997
Todd Dunwoody 1997-2002
Todd Erdos 1997-2001
Todd Fischer 1986-1986
Todd Frohwirth 1987-1996
Todd Greene 1996-2006
Todd Haney 1992-1998 Met
Todd Helton 1997-2006
Todd Hollandsworth 1995-2006
Todd Hundley 1990-2003 Met
Todd Jones 1993-2006
Todd Linden 2003-2006
Todd Pratt 1992-2006 Met and always a Met
Todd Revenig 1992-1992
Todd Ritchie 1997-2004
Todd Rizzo 1998-1999 Open your ears, Jerky!
Todd Sears 2002-2003
Todd Self 2005-2005 Met Minor Leaguer
Todd Steverson 1995-1996
Todd Stottlemyre 1988-2002 Met Coach Son
Frank Todd 1898-1898
Jackson Todd 1977-1981 Met
Jim Todd 1974-1979
Todd Van Poppel 1991-2004 Met Spring Training Invitee
Todd Walker 1996-2006
Todd Wellemeyer 2003-2006
Todd Williams 1995-2006
Todd Worrell 1985-1997
Todd Zeile 1989-2004 Double Met

Notice how recent a vintage the Todd series is, with all first-name Todd's debuting since 1987.

its certainly a name that had little popularity, if any, before the late 50's.
as a last name it has a long history, it was the maiden name of Lincoln's loony wife.

I believe the NYPost mentioned it yesterday - something like: sources say Mets have asked Baltimore about ... - which is likely where espn picked it up from.
Isn't it great how "inside" that info is? Certainly worth the price if you ask me.

Do they at least admit that they're swiping it from the Post or are they pretending that it's some kind of exclusive info they dug up on their own?
ESPN has ben known to take credit for everything in sports short of their invention.
