I'm sick of seeing the lineup without Evans, granted he is not a big prospect but the season is over why not let him play some lf and some 1B. He is just rotting on the bench with only 3 at-bats since Sept 12th, that is no why to treat a young player. Lets not forget that earlier this year in the Minor Leagues he started off terrible and it was reported that he was seeing a sports psychologist. Now I'm no shrink but sitting on a bench every day while not getting into the game at all for a couple of weeks can't be good for an already weak psyche.
Now onto the to the fact that we continue to play Schneider when he is not in the plans for next years team. Today people will say that he is catching to try and help Pelfrey. Well to be frank that is bs, next year Pelfrey is not gonna have Schneider behind the plate and he needs to get use to it. He needs to learn to become a pitcher mentally as well as physically, and he needs to learn that with guys like Thole and Santos who will be most likely catching him next year. I appreciate the fact that Schneider has helped mentor Thole and he seems like a nice guy, but sports is a business. The Mets should have spent the last month or so trying to evaluate possible players for next year, and for the most part they have failed at this.
