Wright's been doing terrible hitting .240? but oh wait, if you are looking at more than just fantasy baseball stats, you'd see a .349 OBP entering play tonight and a BABIP 45 points lower than his career average... he's likely been as unlucky as he has been bad.

[ashie62]

Who brought up fantasy stats?

I was wondering that about 1B in case Ike got a day off. I think that Hu plays 3B and we know that Murphy can play 1B/3B. Wow!

[Gwreck]

Rubin has reported that Turner will get the start at third tomorrow, weather permitting.

Murphy, actually, with Turner at second (if not snowed/rained out). Per Rubin in that link.

Huh. Maybe I was seeing things. I could've sworn I saw Rubin tweet Turner as well.

So, if Davis is hurt, do you call up a potential first basemen (Duda, Evans, or Pascucci) or a potential secondbaseman (Tejada, Hernandez, or Adams)?

Lucas Duda, 24 g: .241 / .354 / .398 // .751
Valentino Pascucci, 22 g: .230 / .373 / .361 // .734
Nick Evans, 30 g: .222 / .262 / .342 // .604

Ruben Tejada, 33 g: .281 / .348 / .438 // .785
Luis Hernandez, 25 g: .212 / .239 / .247 // .486
Russ Adams, 23 g: .180 / .296 / .246 //.542

Kind of narrows it down to a three-man question, doesn't it? Except (1) Tejada was intended to remain in Bufflao this year, (2) Pascucci isn't on the 40, and (3) Duda has had three chances (two this year) and been miserable.

If it's my call, I give Evans a shot. But it's not my call.

Might be Duda just because it's been Duda. I'd go Evans. Wouldn't want to burn the option for Tejada. But it's looking like Ike thinks he can play. and he did stay in that inning so it's not horrible at least.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd give Ike the day off, 'twould be a 2-day rest and just let today's game be one of them to get the irregulars going.

Ike said he thought it was an achilles -- that's good because if he knew it was an achilles, we'd be looking at a few months at least.

[TransMonk]

Per Burkhardt's Twitter through Metsblog:

Ike Davis flying to NY to be looked at by team Drs....

[Centerfield]

Yikes Davis.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I bet he has a strained Ike-chilles tendon. Week or two of rest if it's not serious.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I suppose they could call up an outfielder and treat Harris as a backup infielder.

[ashie62]

Heyman tweeting Fmart not in the Buffalo lineup tonight and may get the call if Ike goes on the DL.

I'm gonna say Ike out one month..goodnight 2011 Mets.

And now he runs into Davis and injures him?
Are we sure Wright isn't being secretly paid by evil forces to sabotage the Mets' season?

Harris absolutely sucks. Do we trust Turner as the everyday second baseman? I might be okay with it..but I'm definitely not okay with lots of Hu/Harris starts.

[bmfc1]

Rubin says that F. Martinez is on the way so, unless he gets hurt getting on or off the plane, he'll join the Mets in Denver if Ike goes on the DL.

I'm familiar with Harris' failures. That's why I wonder out loud if they might want to get an outfielder that might take some big at-bats away from him and knock his profile down.

I'm saying.

[Ceetar]

I meant using Harris as an infielder. he hasn't been getting many OF starts thanks to Pridie being okay. So is Fernando really coming up to be primary Lefty off the bench or is he going to play CF? or not at all and this is a bogus rumor/Ike will be okay?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, ideally, he won't be used much at all. I imagine there wouldn't be much need for any but the odd apperance in the infield for him. Look at it as Turner and Murphy getting their chance to shine. If Fernando takes Harris's day-game starts and maybe a few spots here and there in center, we can turn a shit deal into an opportunity.

Davis hurt stinks, but Davis hurt and all his plate appearances going to going-nowhere vets stinks more.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Official: Ike to DL (ankle sprain, bone bruise) Fartinez in Denver.

[TransMonk]

[HahnSolo]

So will it be Murph at 1B for the time being? I think it would be better keep him at 2B than to move him. But I'm not sure what our other 1B options are now that they've opted to bring up Fmart.

[TransMonk]

Yeah, I would have preferred Evans.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We need to see Fernando get as many MLB reps in as possible this season, i think.

[smg58]

I don't like F-Mart being here to sit on the bench. Evans would have made more sense. If he plays poorly he'd clear waivers again, and if he doesn't play poorly Scott Hairston would clear waivers.

[G-Fafif]

Couldn't they claim Ike's leg had a concussion and then stick him on the 7-day DL?

His plane isn't even due to land until 1, there's weather issues that could delay it and the game.

Hopefully he's the 'regular' starter. or something.

I'm just depressed. and now Ike's not even going to be back in 13 days? *sigh*
