Path To The Big Leagues: With Carlos Delgado a shell of his former self, Davis will now try to outshine a resurgent Mike Carp in the long-term competition for the first base job. If both turn into big leaguers, Davis has the arm and legs to play a decent right field.

At least he doesn't have much to live up to if he's going to be better than Delgado for the Mets. Of course all these guys will be traded away for veterans at some point anyways.
