Make no mistake: Mets must make trade for big bat
Minor moves. Major problem.
That sentiment is essentially what the Mets hinted towards their fans this week when they demoted Ike Davis, Mike Baxter and Robert Carson to Las Vegas while designating Rick Ankiel for assignment.
The constant underperforming and lackluster baseball finally caught the wrath of GM Sandy Alderson. No more will there be any coddling or nurturing of their...
Ike Davis Has Mixed Results in Las Vegas Debut
Ike Davis debuted with the Las Vegas 51s on Tuesday night and faced similar struggles but also marked improvements. The 26-year-old Davis struck out twice in five plate appearances but also drew two walks, one of which was imperative in leading the 51s to an 8-6 victory over Tacoma.
Davis stepped to the plate in the bottom of the ninth and represented the tying run after Andrew Brown...

Mets replace what isn’t working with what wasn’t working
Confusing title? What’s equally confusing is the path the Mets have gone down these last couple of seasons and how it has led them to a point where they have no choice but to replace struggling players with players who are just as likely to struggle themselves. The details are in the team’s official press release:
The New York Mets today announced the club will select the...
Mets News: Mets demote Ike Davis, Mike Baxter, and Robert Carson
Mets News:
Fed up after getting swept by the Miami Marlins for a second straight weekend, the New York Mets demoted three players to Triple-A Las Vegas after Sunday's defeat: first baseman Ike Davis, outfielder Mike Baxter and left-handed reliever Robert Carson.
Davis, making $3.125 million and a staple at first base for the Mets since April 2010, was the highest-profile...
Alderson Made Wholesale Roster Changes Nine Months Later
The New York Mets have gotten off to a wretched start that has seen them dip to 12 games below .500 in early-June. The early optimism of a club that could potentially earn a Wild Card berth if everything clicked is as far gone as a Rob Carson fastball.
The club demoted LHB Mike Baxter, LHP Rob Carson, and LHB Ike Davis on Sunday night following the club’s 8-4 loss to the Miami...
Finally: Ike Davis Demoted, Satin Returns
The day has finally come in which the Mets used their brains and sent Ike Davis to Triple-A, and he was not alone.

Well at least we have guys with cooler...

Alderson and Wright Address the Davis, Baxter, Carson Demotions
Sandy Alderson has announced that the Mets have optioned Ike Davis, Mike Baxter and Robert Carson to Triple-A Las Vegas following today’s brutal 8-4 loss to the Marlins.

Mets Finally Demote Ike Davis
Falling under the category of it being about time, the Mets demoted Ike Davis this afternoon, along with outfielder Mike Baxter and left-hander Robert Carson to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Davis has struggled all season and there has been speculation of him being optioned for several weeks, but GM Sandy Alderson has been reluctant to make the move.
Davis struggled early last year but rebounded...

Ruben Tejada Injures Quad, Will See Team Doctors In Morning
Ruben Tejada left Wednesday night’s game with an apparent quadriceps injury according to Terry Collins.
It looked like Tejada slid awkwardly while attempting to catch a foul popup in the ninth inning that Mike Baxter caught for the first out. He gingerly walked back to his position and after making a routine play for the second out of the inning, he was removed from the game and...

3 Up & 3 Down: Mets Served Up Some Bad Home Cooking Edition
Usually, it isn’t until after the All Star break, when we need to combine series to come up with 3 Ups and 3 Downs. This week was an exception with the Mets winning 2 out of 6 games against the Chicago White Sox & the Pittsburgh Pirates. Unless the Met offense wakes up real soon, we’re going to be in for a long season. Sorry to say, a first baseman batting .190 in the middle...
