The uncertainty about the value of his skillset makes Manuel's refusal to play him at the end of the 2009 season even more questionable. Defensively, 1B is his best position. While he has some pop, I'm not sure he'll make enough contact to play there everyday. I see him best utilized as a lefty masher, moving between 1B and LF depending on matchups. He's killed LHP his entire MiLB career. Great question. The uncertainty about the value of his skillset makes Manuel’s refusal to play him at the end of the 2009 season even more questionable.

What exactly is Nick Evans these days? will he be in the mix for a OF/1B/PH bench role? Trade bait? Dumped in AAA and forgotten about? He has had a weird little career so far, and is still what, 23?

will he be in the mix for a OF/1B/PH bench role? Trade bait? Dumped in AAA and forgotten about?

He has had a weird little career so far, and is still what, 23?
