Given the financial situation the Mets are currently in, holding on to a guy like Nick Evans should have been a no-brainer. Not only would Evans have been a quality bat and add much-needed depth to a very thin, not-so-Amazin’ roster, but come at a relatively inexpensive price.
This 25-year old has been up and down from the minors so many times with the Mets that I don’...

Photo by Michael Baron The Nick Evans torture treatment has finally come to an end, Evans probably should have been a regular on the bench for the last three seasons. Instead Evans was the first option to be sent down or placed on options. For whatever reason Nick was under appreciated in the Mets organization and was never given a fair chance. Pittsburgh is the perfect landing...

According to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed Nick Evans “to a minor league deal, with an invite to spring training.”
Nick Evans has been up and down between Triple-A Buffalo and the New York Mets more than any player I can think of in recent years, maybe even more Nelson Figueroa.
My take when it was reported that Evans declared...

Nick Evans is gone. Off to Pittsburgh.
Evans was the type of player who always seemed always "just about ready" who always seemed like a go to option from the minors to fill in a hole in the majors.
The problem was there was always a player who seemed more attractive, more interesting than Evans. A player we wanted to see more of, when compared to Evans. So, constantly...

The Bucs have signed former New York Met Nick Evans to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.
Evans, 25, is a right-handed first baseman/corner outfielder and hit .256/.305/.407 in 159 games over four years in New York. The Mets recently took him off their 40-man roster.
This is an interesting move and adds to an option for the Pirates at first base for 2012. Assuming...

The Pirates signed Nick Evans to a minor league deal last night, according to the New York Daily News. Evans has played bits and pieces of the last four seasons with the Mets as a utility first baseman/corner outfielder with very little power. That doesn't sound terribly exciting, but Evans does have a respectable .295/.360/.489 line against lefties, with six of his eight career...

A lot has gone on today in the World of baseball, let's take a look:
The Red Sox hire Bobby Valentine to be their Manager
I'll miss Bobby V in the booth on ESPN. It was nice for a change having a pro Mets voice up there. For the Red Sox, right now, after a collapse, this is the type of manager they need right now. He has the ability to navigate big personalities and he...
