With the new found star at first base, Ike Davis, The New York Mets have to make a decision on what to do with Daniel Murphy. Murphy who started last year in left field but then moved to first base after ex-Met Carlos Delgado was injured. Murphy was expected to be The Mets everyday first basemen this season but after a spring training injury and the emergence of Davis it looks like their is no spot for Murphy.
...Or is there?
Couple of reports have been The Mets could send him down to the minors for a month to get his swing back then be brought up to pinch hit and come off the bench to fill in during day games in left field or first base. Other reports have been The Mets could try and have him work on his second base skills and bring him up next year to play second base at the major league level.
Nothing is for certain on those scenarios but what is for sure is that Murphy has lost his job at first.
