We’ve talked about this in the past – both on the site and the podcast. This franchise should consider everyone as on the table. I like Ike and I love home grown players, but Joel Sherman makes a lot of sense here:
Before the position has way more supply than demand, the Mets should, at the least, see if Davis can return a long-term rotation piece, second baseman or potential replacement to Reyes (a free agent after next year). The Mets could then stopgap for 2011 with a free agent such as Lyle Overbay, Carlos Pena, Adam LaRoche or Derrek Lee — all of whom would offer similar production to Davis. And then — thinking big picture — the Mets should be predetermined to solve first base long-term after the 2011 campaign with a true difference-making free agent from among Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder and Adrian Gonzalez.
