Can Nick Evans get some GD ABs

like more than one? September is like 2010 bench try-out month.

No, no, you see, we're not out of the race.

We can’t sacrifice production by taking Cory Sullivan out of the lineup.

Nick Evans started Game 162 in 2008

And he can’t buy playing time in September 2009?

Eric, why do you keep harping on Cory Sullivan?

He’s hot, but he’s 30 years old and not particularly good at anything. He has no future with the Mets. I don’t care how poorly Evans or Murphy play, they NEED to get the bulk of the playing time because they may actually have a future with the Mets.

And this one is for Jerry Manuel or anyone else who questions the fielding ability of Nick Evans:

Check out the running catch at Colorado. It’s only one play but Evans runs that ball down from left/center playing Helton to pull. I’m willing to wager a hefty sum that the ‘speedy’ Cory Sullivan never gets to that ball.
