UPDATE : The Mets select Ike Davis 1B/OF out of Arizona State with the 18th overall pick.
MLB.com on Davis…
On radars since high school, when he was a 19th-round pick of the Rays in 2005, the son of ex-big leaguer Ron Davis has a sweet left-handed swing that should generate more power in the future. He’s not speedy, but he is a solid base runner and would be fine as a corner outfielder or first baseman at the next level.
Jim Callis of Baseball America on Davis…
One of the few first-round-caliber first basemen who has a chance to play a more difficult position.

wow… I just read that link to BA Top 30 Prospects Mock Draft and I gotta tell you those two pitchers they have the Mets pegged for are the last thing I think the Mets need right now.
Those guys used to be really sharp with their mock drafts, but this one doesn’t seem to connect with the teams most pressing needs. Of course their thinking could be the fact that given the choice between mediocre pitching and penominal everyday players, the Mets usually take the mediocre pitchers.
i absolutely disagree, joe. i don’t think at this point there are phenomenal everyday player available to the mets but cole and friedrich can really be special pitchers. mets already passed on these guys once to get davis, which i think was foolish if the only reason this guy went so high is that maybe he can play outfield. hopefully they get one at 22.
WOW
i just talked to mel kiper jr.
he said “it’s clear that the mets just don’t understand what the draft is all about”
