Ok, Ike will (likely) be gone. So, what’s next?
It was a demoralizing scene if I ever saw one.
In the bottom of the 8th inning in Friday night’s game vs. the Braves, Ike Davis struck out for the fourth time in the game while looking hopeless at the plate. Once again, Davis earned the dreaded “golden sombrero.” This was the third time this year Davis has earned that distinction. Last year, Davis accomplished that feat only...

He still may have been left to wait for a time when the New York Mets were ready even if he were 100 percent healthy, though. Regardless, the Mets appear poised to call up the young righty prospect soon.

Roundtable: What is Wilmer Flores’ trade value?
Tuesday’s column on Wilmer Flores drew a strong reaction so I thought I would ask my friends in the blogosphere about his trade value. I asked them to respond to the following questions:

Sandy Alderson Doing Mets Disservice With Ike Davis Decision
ALDERSON DOING METS A DISSERVICE IN STAYING WITH DAVIS
Perhaps Sandy Alderson knew of Andrew Brown’s strained oblique when he said there was nothing imminent about sending Ike Davis to the minor leagues. Assuming he did not, it is puzzling as to why he’s in no hurry to ship out his struggling first baseman.
Eventually, Alderson said, “everything comes to a head at some point...
