I hope Davis has a good season. No need for him to light the world on fire--it'll be fine if he adjusts to playing in the big leagues defensively and produces at an above average clip. <br /><br />A lot of people are dogging the Mets coverage of Davis but I can't find it in me to criticize. The team and the fans should enjoy every good day that comes along. It was fun seeing Francoeur pie Davis after the game. (Of course, how can I not be positive about a rookie who looks like a young Bruce Springsteen?)Ridderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381673963393884079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-29737398432327038632010-04-20T11:29:26.333-04:002010-04-20T11:29:26.333-04:00Uncle Mike - Maybe Ike Davis will be the next Davi...Uncle Mike - Maybe Ike Davis will be the next David Wright - a star. Maybe he'll be the next Lastings Milledge - an overhyped bust so far. Maybe he'll be the next Joba Chamberlain - hyped to the sky but mismanaged by his team.Jon Lewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879924630761240519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-46877304767633224052010-04-20T11:08:49.345-04:002010-04-20T11:08:49.345-04:00So here's my question: How long before Ike Dav...So here's my question: How long before Ike Davis gets hurt, comes back too soon, underachieves, and gets traded by the Mets for some over-the-hill, overweight guy who strikes out too much and can't field, and then goes on to become the star they all expect him to be?<br /><br />Or maybe he won't turn into, say, Jeff Kent. Maybe he'll turn into Gregg Jeffries and not be worth the hype.<br /><br />I sure would love to see the look on Met fans' faces in 2018 when Ike Davis is celebrating winning the World Series... with his Yankee teammates. Why not, it worked for Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, David Cone and Wade Boggs!
