Nick Evans never had a chance. Every time he gets a shot, the Mets sign Sheffield, Hairston, Harris, etc.
At first he looked like he would be a slap hitter but I think he has truly turned that around and will become an Aubrey Huff, Ty Wigginton type player who plays all corner positions and that is valuable if you can get it from one guy.
Speaking of Ty Wigginton…Mets need a second baseman.
But I digress. Evans and Jason Pridie were able to become free agents and took that route. Pridie went to the A’s. I would have kept him as the 4th outfielder and possible Angel Pagan replacement. He brings everything Pagan does except maybe a little less power and he can actually field, unlike the overrated Pagan.
Evans could be your guy if you need a 1B, 3B, LF, RF. How many teams have guys like that? The Mets never do except when Omar was running the show and if you remember there was this year that could have been magical….
Bring back Evans and give him a shot.
Remember Heath Bell? Never got ...
