Comments on: Evans, Misch and Hernandez Clear Waivers http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/03/evans-misch-and-hernandez-clear-waivers.html Sun, 19 May 2013 20:34:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Metsie http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/03/evans-misch-and-hernandez-clear-waivers.html#comment-144498 Metsie Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:17:16 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=47182#comment-144498 Facts Iz…

If a team claims a player off waivers and has a viable claim as described above, his current team (the “waiving team”) may choose one of the following options:

1 – arrange a trade with the claiming team for that player within two business days of the claim; or
2 – rescind the request and keep the player on its major league roster, effectively canceling the waiver; or
3 – do nothing and allow the claiming team to assume the player’s existing contract, pay the waiving team a waiver fee, and place the player on its active major league roster.

If a player is claimed and the waiving team exercises its rescission option, the waiving team may not use the option again for that player in that season. If no team claims a player off waivers after three business days, the player has cleared waivers and may be assigned to a minor league team, traded (to any team), or released outright.

I had reservations about exposing them but Sandy took a gamble and won.

They may have the same roster space issues we do at this point.

I don’t really care what the resons are just glad that we retained him because I think he is just the kind of guy who makes a good part of a multi player trade for pitching or something else we need at the trading deadline.

The only real knock on Evans is he is (truly) a 3B who hits like a 2B!
We play him in the OF (because of Wright) but OFs are a dime a dozen! Thats where all the guys who have transitioned from a position they can’t break through in go when they don’t go to 1B!

We keep Evans who gives us depth at the corners in the infield and outfield. Misch is a good option to have as long relief/ spot starter. And Hernandez gives infield depth. Surprised Evans didn’t get picked up. Hope Acosta slips through as well.

The Mets were very lucky that no one claimed Evans or Misch or Hernandez (although he may not except the minor league assignment). Let’s just hope no one claims Acosta, who is a very useful bullpen arm.

Why in the world would a .280/25/78 guy clear waivers? Give me a break……..

We need to fix the option issues of Emaus and Beato first!
So we should give thier old teams first crack at either of them.
I would certainly be happy if they sent Evans and Acosta to the Orioles to get the rights for Beato.
It would be a lopsided deal to be sure but better to get an Option on a young kid than to get some other kid that probably isn’t all that good and wouldn’t be able to get on the roster even if he was!

Too bad it wont be for the Mets.

They burned through options without a care in the world. They started the arbitration clock on F-Mart or Mejia without a thought on what that meant long term for the team. Two useless idiots that I’m glad are gone.

Even looked disinterested out there the last weekend of the season to me but he would have covered Pagan’s only weakness out there.

I would really have liked to give him a chance when we were out of it early in 2009. If he had looked decent maybe we don’t sign Bay and go Duda/Evans in LF this year and saved 80 M and who knows, maybe got a player with the #2 pick we gave Boston.

But someone was too dumb to realize Frenchy’s splits…or knew and was too dumb to care.

They brought him up to cover short term needs because the roster was always so ill configured and blew his options just like Heath Bell and some other guys. Evans most likely would have been selected in the rule 5 next year so if we didn’t lose him now we would have lost him later.

Might have gotten something for him in between depending on how he did though.
