Avoiding the Inevitable, roster move....

The Mets have avoided making a tough decision by making an easy move that just satisfies the roster temporarily. The Mets have sent Nick Evans down to make room for Gary Sheffield, Evans was scheduled to be sent down on April 11th to make room for Livan Hernandez anyway. So really all the Mets have done is stalled, by next week they need to decide who has to go. They could carry one less reliever by returning Darren O'Day to the Angels or sending down Bobby Parnell who has options ( highly unlikely). Or they can either release Marlon Anderson or send Jeremy Reed down who also has options. Rosters have to be in before tonight's game and for now the opening day roster is set......As expected, the Mets sent prospect Nick Evans to Triple-A Buffalo this afternoon to make room for Gary Sheffield on the Opening Day roster. source NY Post
