"@AdamRubinESPN: Looks like Carlos Beltran will open season with #Mets. He's on travel list for Grapefruit League game Tuesday." Mets bench, which was announced yesterday, will be Nickeas, Murphy, Hu, Harris, Hairston. Nick Evans put up a .300/.371/.536 in 548 PA between AA-AAA last season. In addition, in an extremely small sample size, he owns a .322/.379/.512 line against left-handed pitching in 132 MLB PA. In contrast, his OBP against right-handed pitching in 93 MLB PA is .183. Seems like a very intriguing option to me. Defense is a bit better than Hinske at left and first, but could be used as a platoon partner with Hinske if something were to happen to Chipper this year.
