Nick Evans sent to Buffalo

As expected, the Mets have sent Nick Evans to Triple-A Buffalo.

Evans was likely only going to be around until April 11, when Livan Hernandez would be activated for his first start. If he hit, Jerry Manuel said he was going to try and keep him with the team.

That all went out the window when the Mets signed Gary Sheffield.

Evans will get more seasoning in the minors, with consistent at bats, which will benefit him in the long run.
