Davis, Tejada Assigned to AFL

1B Ike Davis, and SS Ruben Tejada have been named to the Surprise Rafters team of the Arizona Fall League.

The Mets will add five more players to the team in the next few weeks. Four will be pitchers and one will be an outfielder. They will be joined by members of the New York Yankees.

The Arizona Fall Leauge is the premier off-season league, where the Mets have always sent players that were only one or two steps away from the majors. Davis is expected to compete for the 2010 Mets first baseman's job, though 2011 looks more accurate as the year he will take over there. Tejada is expected to play 2010 at AAA and the Mets have an interesting decision to make at the end of that season, regarding Jose Reyes' option year.
