Davis helps Mets win!

Great Story, thanks for posting. It had to be pretty special to share that time with the Davis family Monday night. I remember Ron Davis setting up Goose, and if I'm not mistaken, didn't he spend a little time as a Closer too? Now he gets the opportunity to watch his son in the Bigs, it's obvious how proud he is from his statements in the article...very special day!

It was a special day/nite at CITI Field as well---you have to see the NYC papers today--it is like the Messiah has arrived----The Mets need the excitement of new blood so lets hope the kid holds up under the pressure that is ahead of him

The kid looks like a keeper !!!

Ike Davis should've been the starting firstbaseman from day one. For some reason, they think Daniel Murphy is their man. Murphy nothing more than a bench player. But the way the Mets run things, it's no surprise they sent this kid down when camp broke. They don't do much right but they finally wised up and brought him back up.

In defense of the Mets the Davis Kid has not been a stud in the minors---he had a rough time getting it going out of ASU---with that in mind that they did not want to rush him--I am not a fan of their front office, I think Minaya should go, and I also think they need Bobby V back.

Davis might not have been a stud in the minors but he's a far better 1B than anybody they have. Murphy was a butcher in the OF and can't play 1B like this kid Davis. He's got power, which is something the Mets lack and he's a lefty. I don't know how they didn't start him from the day camp broke. I could see if the Mets had a stud 1B but they had nobody.

Yea their front office and manager have to go. Probably their medical staff should be looked at too. Bringing Bobby V back would be a good move for them.

Greetings from New York!
We're thrilled that Ike was called up (should have been with them since they broke camp).
Hope he's here for a long productive time!!!

The extra two weeks that Davis spent in the minors bought the Mets an extra year of having him under team control. They now have the rights to him through 2016 instead of 2015. I'm positive that's why they did it.

And good story, jemaz. Must have been quite a thrill for all of you.

One of my teammates is his cousin. He's pumped.

We are also very happy for Ike. I can honestly say that Ike was one of the most fun kids I have ever met. Interesting to read about his dad telling him to always have fun. Ike always looked like he was having a blast with baseball. He was also very talented. He was an easy selection for us to pick him for the Aflac Game and he was the MVP of the game that year.

Playing in that same 2004 Aflac All American Game in addition to Ike were some others that have played in the Big Leagues already... Justin Upton, Andrew McCutchen, Cameron Maybin, Buster Posey, Chris Volstad, Austin Jackson, Ryan Tucker and Sean O'Sullivan. Others from that team who could get called up very soon include Jeremy Hellickson, Jordan Danks and Brett Wallace. There are others who are in the upper levels of the minor leagues.

Here is a short report on Ike when he was a junior in high school. S.croll down the page to read

Yea. That would make a lot of sense if that's why they did that.
