Evans Should Get Long Look

FLUSHING, NY – It’s not the time to dump, by any means. It’s still only May, plenty of time for the team to come back, even under the current regime. But it is time for the Mets to see what they have down on the farm and keep their young chips in Flushing to see what they can do. With 2/3rds of the outfield...

He looked good (made hard outs at least) in his first two AB's last night then he looked like he was fooled in the last two.

He looks like he is selective, which could bode well for eventual success on this level. I think that he might be vulnerable inside however.

In fairness, I think the ump had a huge strike zone in his last AB. Maybe there is some truth to what Keith said about rookies not getting the benefit of the doubt.

I am all for giving a long look to Evans and perhaps even Carp if he continues to rake in AA.

Also, any thoughts about whether Dan Murphy could play second base? With Wright at third, Carp the likely guy to become the first baseman and Evans getting a long look in the outfield, they might have to find a position for this kid.

Any infusion of new hungry, non-privalaged players would be welcomed at this point.
