In a report for Newsday, David Lennon says Daniel Murphy will work with Keith Hernandez on defense at first base this season.
However, Lennon also says prospect Ike Davis could push for the job at first base sooner rather than later this season.
…i’m looking forward to the results from Murphy after working with Mex…he was very helpful for Todd Zeile when the Mets transformed him into a first baseman back in 2000, and for the most part, was very effective there…i don’t see Davis making an appearance at the big league level until September, at the earliest…unless of course Murphy finds his way to the disabled list for a long duration…
