Phillip Evans deserves to start

The Major League Baseball season has just begun, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are off to a slow start. A proactive leader might insist that an early shakeup is needed; a more careful leader might suggest that we need to let things run its course for the time being. I fall into the former camp. On a team which isn’t likely to be graced with visitations to the win column very frequently this season, it’s time to make sure the right players are playing.

Enter: Phillip Evans.

Last season, in a game against the Detroit Tigers at PNC Park, Miguel Cabrera hit a foul ball down the right field line.
