News: Nick Evans sent to Triple-A
The Mets optioned Nick Evans to Triple-A Buffalo today to make room on the 25–man roster for OF Gary Sheffield.
…evans was only going to be on the roster
for a few days anyway, as he would have been optioned down to make room for Livan Hernandez, when a fifth starter is first needed…
…the real question is Saturday, April 11, when livan is needed: will the Mets cut ties with Marlon Anderson, maybe Jeremy Reed, though i doubt it, or will they reduce a spot in the bullpen, like Darren O’Day…
…i suspect a lot will depend on what Jerry Manuel and Razor Shines make of sheffield over the next few days, as they work him out in the outfield and get him at bats as a pinch hitter…
As expected, the Mets also put Billy Wagner, Angel Pagan and Tim Redding on the 15-day disabled list.
