Evans Project Over


The New York Mets have optioned 1st/OF Nick Evans to Double A Binghamton and purchased the contract of utility infielder Abraham Nunez from Triple A New Orleans.

...There has been a large crowd of fans who wanted the Mets call up Val Pascucci, but the fact is he still wasn't the best choice. If it was up to me I would have called up Chris Aguila. The guy has just been on an absolute tear in Triple A racking up 15 home runs and 31 RBI's.

Injury Updates


New York Mets Luis Castillo and Ryan Church are both saying that they expect to be in today's lineup and not go on the DL.

Roman Castro's left elbow is still swollen from getting hit by a pitch. The good news is that it is not broken.

No one knows what is going on with Matt Wise who is going to get a second opinion on his right shoulder. The Mets are still unsure whether it is tendinitis or nerve damage. He should not be expected back until the end of July or August the earliest.

Moises Alou should be ready to come back on Thursday, which should mark the end of Nick Evan's time in the big leagues.

After throwing two pitches to second base in an extended spring training game on Saturday, Jorge Posada is set to the lineup on Thursday. After the game Posada made comments regarding the throwing.....

"The second one was better than the first one," Posada said. "It felt good throwing the ball. I’m happy with it. I’m happy the way I felt."
The Yankees have been waiting for the offense in the lineup Jorge Posada provided last year and coming back during this mini streak he should be able to slide back in with no trouble and hit like we know he could.

Nick Evans Called Up, Anderson to DL


After Marlon Anderson hurt his hamstring in last night's game the Mets have called up 22-year old OF/1st baseman Nick Evans from AA. Evans was off to a blazing start, has cooled of since, but has still put up nice numbers with .292 with eight doubles, eight HR, and 31 RBI's. He is currently leading the team in RBI's, home runs, triples, and runs. I ranked him as the Mets 10th prospect.
