Is he going overseas?

If nothing else, I am hoping Omar has opened his eyes enough to realize the mistake he made trying to put his eggs on old, injury prone players.

Alou and Duque are wonderful players, but none do any good not being on the field. Omar has to turn the page and not depend on these guys anymore. I think doing that hurts the team more than it helps.

I hope that Evans flourishes. Willie needs to also stop being Daddy Jacka$$ and stop throwing wet blankets on these kids when they do well. He use to do this ad nauseum with Heilman a couple of years ago… and then he trashed Pagan in the media. Not very nice.

Willie, if he is smart, will ride the hot hand, and not subject fans to more “I need to get Chavy some at-bats”… IMHO, Endy has been allowed to milk that catch in the 2006 NLCS, to the point that his terrible lack of hitting is overlooked.

Now, I am NOT advocating that Evans get a permanent starting job, but I am saying better be in the starting lineup tomorrow. He seems like a poised, quietly confident kid, who had the right hitting approach today.

I am no big fan, but I am willing to see Tatis get a shot at 2B. I am sick of Castillo and his knees.

Of course, there is a problem. He needs regular playing time to develop. And of course, as we know, Willie will go with “his guys,” even if Evans is batting .340 from both sides of the plate…

first impressions of Evans (after seeing just one game obviously) is that he reminds me of Dave Magadan from the right side. He insides out everything, has good at bats, and unfortunately runs alot like Magadan.
