Unlike the actual Mets, quasi Met Nick Evans has been selected for the All Star Game. Well…the Eastern League All Star Game in New Hampshire. Same thing. He’ll be joined be fellow B Mets Mike Carp, Salvadar Aguilar and Bobby Parnell. Evans was with the Mets for two weeks, getting three doubles in his debut and then for the most part not hitting anything. In his nine games, including his three doubles he got four hits in 23 at bats. But he does much better in AA, where he has a .309 average with seven triples.
Tickets are still available if for some reason you’re in New Hampshire.
Sphere: Related ContentThe B Mets will remain in Binghamton and part of the Mets family until 2010, as the two parties extended their affiliation agreement.
I’d assume that with the proximate of Binghamton to Shea, as long as the Mets organization is willing to keep the team stocked with decent, young talent, both parties would remain interested in staying together. Especially after the fiasco with the break from Norfolk, in which the team ended up in a further location that plays primarily on the other side of the country. Hopefully the rumors about a affiliation jump to Syracuse (home of the Sky Chiefs) will become true.

- Jonathan Malo belted a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning to rally St. Lucie past Jupiter, 7-4.
- Anderson Hernandez driving in an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth and then hitting a walk off homer in extra innings to defeat Omaha.
- Jason Vargas takes a no-hitter into the seventh inning against Salt Lake.
- Seven Gulf Coast Mets combined to toss 14 hitless innings in a 1-0, 17-inning loss to the Cardinals.

According to TCPalm the three 'internal' finalists for the 2007 Mets third base job are Gary Carter, Ken Oberkfell, and Howard Johnson.
New York Mets manager Willie Randolph and general manager Omar Minaya could make the decision before the annual winter meetings, which begin Monday in Orlando.
“If (Johnson) gets it, hey, great,” Carter said. “He's as deserving as I feel I am.”
HoJo said “If I don't get it, I certainly hope Gary gets it. And I feel like, if I don't get it and Gary doesn't get it, I hope Ken gets it.”
Carter said he might consider coming back as the St. Lucie manager, but he could be promoted to the Triple-A manager if Oberkfell is named the major-league team's third-base coach.
I wish the Mets would consider Rickey Henderson for the third base job. I think it would be great bringing back. Not only do I feel he would do well as a third base coach, but also he could help out Jose Reyes and the other young players on the team whether its stealing bsaes or working on their hitting. If Rickey doesnt get the job though, id be fine bringing up the Kid, Obie, or HoJo, with Gary Carter being my preference.
Sphere: Related ContentThe Mets are set to make a number of call ups today, and most notable of those is Philip Humber, the Mets 2004 first round draft pick.
Dave Williams was also recalled and will start tonight. Brian Bannister, Lastings Milledge, Ricky Ledee, and Kelly Stinnett were called up as well.
Mike Pelfrey is headed to St.
Lucie where he will be treated for a minor back problem.
Mack's Mets posts an interesting article of minor leaguers who might have worn out their welcome in the Mets system and might be clogging up the system. Mack gives a list of players who might be good candidates for a flushing to make room for new talent.
Mack also makes a great observation that, although the Mets seemed to have some issues right now with their starting pitching, soon they could have a surplus of young major league ready arms.
And what if Phil Humber goes lights out in AFL + wows us in spring training?
(Also… is it my imagination or does the projected growth of Deolis Guerra seem to correspond to the end of Pedro’s contract?)
Farm Report : Bannister Brilliant In Shutout Win

Norfolk Tides website reports…
win over the Indianapolis Indians in a pitcher's duel Tuesday night
from Victory Field.
Bannister (1-3) was spectacular in his fifth rehab start for an
injured hamstring. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed just three
hits, striking out seven without walking a batter. He threw just 85
pitches in the contest, 60 of which were for strikes, and he allowd
just one batter to reach second base in the contest.
Bannister would be a dark horse candidate to replace Pedro in the rotation should he need extended rest for his strained calf.
Toby's Mets Minor League Report reminds us that Bannister would be on short rest to replace Pedro's scheduled start, not a particular good idea considering Bannister is coming off an injury.
Pedro’s place on Saturday he’d be throwing on just three days rest. That would put Bannister, recovering from a
hamstring injury, one he’s aggravated already, at a greater risk of
reinjuring himself. I don’t love that
idea, but I like it more than pushing a wounded Pedro out there, or promoting
Oliver Perez who was effective Monday night for the first time as a Met
farmhand.
Toby reports that Evan MacLane pitches today for the Tides at 2PM and Phil Humber throws tonight for Binghamton.
