SubscribeWelcome to the club?
It may be a bit premature. After all, the Mets just had their first spring training game yesterday. Many of the regulars didn’t play because of poor field conditions (you scrubs can go hang), which gave Ike Davis a chance to show his stuff.
From Marty Noble on Mets.com:
Davis did nothing to damage his image Tuesday, when he played nine innings in the Mets’ first Spring Training game, a 4-2 victory over the Braves. He badly misjudged a foul popup — went foul, no harm. But he also contributed a single and a double in three at-bats and reminded those who watched John Olerud play with the Mets of the importance of tall first basemen.

Davis, who turns 23 in a few weeks, is the son of former Yankees pitcher Ron Davis.
I’ve seen enough, starting job is his.
