The Book on Ike Davis
Prospect Info
Ike Davis
Born 3/22/1987
1B, NYM
Ike is a legitimate threat to hit 40 homers in the big leagues, and the Mets are one of the best places for a young first baseman to be right now. His refined college approach to the strike zone means he should do it without Howardesque strikeout numbers. too. One of the 2008 draft's most polished picks, Davis should be ready for MLB action in 2010.

Player Updates and Notes
The Mets have called first base prospect Ike Davis up to start tonight's game against the Cubs for his Major League Debut. Davis has been raking the ball for AAA Birmingham the last couple of weeks with a .364/.500/.636 line, though he's more of a .280 man lifetime. His power might not be all you want from a corner infielder, but anything that can help the anemic Mets offense at this point has to be welcome in Flushing.
