To evaluate the expression \( \frac{1}{2} b + 58 \times 2 \) when \( b = 114 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Substitute \( b = 114 \) into the expression:
\[
\frac{1}{2} (114) + 58 \times 2
\]

2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{2} (114) \):
\[
\frac{1}{2} (114) = 57
\]

3. Calculate \( 58 \times 2 \):
\[
58 \times 2 = 116
\]

4. Now, combine the results:
\[
57 + 116 = 173
\]

Thus, the value of the expression is \( \boxed{173} \).

Yes, the evaluation is correct.

To recap the steps:

1. Substitute \( b = 114 \) into the expression \( \frac{1}{2} b + 58 \times 2 \):
\[
\frac{1}{2} (114) + 58 \times 2
\]

2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{2} (114) = 57 \).

3. Calculate \( 58 \times 2 = 116 \).

4. Combine the results:
\[
57 + 116 = 173
\]

So the final answer is indeed 173.
