Ike Davis was called up by the New York Mets on Monday.  Davis, a one bagger, is the fourth rated prospect in the Mets' system.  Mets Fan has been comparing Davis to Jason Heyward.  Not so much.  Time to settle it down a little bit. 

Davis is a tall kid at 6'5", and he weights in around 214 pounds.  Ike played his college ball at Arizona State, where he was also a pitcher and an outfielder.  He also played on the USA World Cup team where he hit at a .333 clip as the USA took home the title.  He followed that up with a strong performance in the Arizona Fall League, and played well in Spring Training.  So far this year for AAA Buffalo, he has two homers in 33 at-bats to go with his .364 AVG and 1.136 OPS. 

So the question is what should you do with Davis in relation to your fantasy baseball league.  With the first base position being pretty stacked with talent, you are hopefully not grasping to fill your 1B or UTL spots.  I recommend taking a bit of a wait and see with Davis, letting someone else scoop him up if they choose to.  Fact of the matter is Mike Jacobs (Jacobs was designated for assignment, and will not be back) and Daniel Murphy are both is over him on the depth chart when healthy.  Unless dude continues to hit like he did last night, in his first game in the Bigs (and on national television to boot), where he went 2/4 with two singles and an RBI.  He batted sixth, with Rod Barajas behind him and Jeff Francoeur in front.

Odds are that Davis will be sent back down when Jacobs and/or Daniels is ready to go.  The Mets, despite being one of the top teams in payroll every year, do not want to keep Davis' clock running if they can help it.  So unless Davis simply starts pounding the ball, I expect him to be short lived in his current stint with the big boys.  If, however, he does hit for average and is not a defensive liability (Baseball America says he plays great D) he could see his time extended, but I think the Mets will want to keep him playing every day if possible.  Thus, we wait and see. 

UPDATE
Alright, sometimes I make mistakes.  Thanks to Double G for pointing out that Jacobs was designated for assignment and will not be back.  This means Davis' shot at staying in the Bigs is a better one than I previously intimated.  Actually, now that I think more about it, I expect him to stay around.  It does not make me want to scoop him off the waiver wire though.  Not yet at least.  He could be a nice addition if his power comes in, but playing at Citi Field will dampen some of that (as seen last night when he thought he jacked one but all it turned out to be was a long out).

So despite my inaccurate info in regards to Jacobs, my advice is still the same.  Wait and see.
