What a debut yesterday! Three doubles in your first major league game is a story to tell your grandkids. Hopefully he continues to play well.

What a great first game. Hope he is the spark this team needs.

Apart from the three-hit debut and scoring the winning run in that Mets/Dodgers game on 31 May, I think Met management better send this kid down otherwise he'll end up being the next Jeff Duncan (Evans presently is 1/18 since his debut game). He's a little overmatched by more experienced pitchers.

Keith Hernandez had it right. The kid had the misfortune of playing his first game on national TV. Every pitcher in the league saw how well he could take an outside pitch to the opposite field. Since then the sequence was predictable - bust him inside and then get him to chase the outside pitch. Coming from Double A to the majors was a big jump that he was not ready for. Hopefully he will be back.

Over the past couple of weeks, Evans has been one of the best AAAA players I have ever seen, playing solid first base and slugging homers. It will be interesting to see if he ever becomes a full-timer with the Mets or anyone else.

I don't have any super-specific memories of Evans, but I do recall that he kept materializing year ... after year ... after year and that, though he was always pretty solid, they never found any meaningful role for him. Looking at his statistical record, I see he hit .256 in 389 at-bats over 159 games in 4 years with the Mets. He never played more than 59 games or had more than 176 ABs in a season. Those are the sorts of numbers that should earn you a full season working off the bench, at least, but he was constantly shuttling between Double-A, Triple-A and New York.
I also remember when he resurfaced with the Diamondbacks in 2014 after not playing in the majors since 2011. It was cool to see him name again.
Overall, he didn't do much in the majors, but his professional career was awesome. Over 15 seasons, he hit 222 home runs, had over 1,500 hits and played all over the world, including Korea, Japan and Mexico.
Lastly, I sent him two autographs in my day. The first was in 2011 through the Mets; he didn't sign. He signed one card the second time, when I sent him a request through the Triple-A Reno Aces in 2015.
