Rajai Davis making strong push to make the Mets
Rajai Davis Anthony J. CausiJUPITER, Fla. — Rajai Davis’ arm and legs are receiving as much attention this spring as his early hot bat.
The 38-year-old Mets outfielder, who is potentially competing for a major league job after arriving on a minor league contract in the offseason, beat out a grounder for a single in his first at-bat against the Cardinals on Thursday before throwing out Matt Carpenter at the plate from left field to end the third inning.
Davis is 4-for-9 (.444) this spring. His chances of making the Opening Day roster could hinge in part on whether Jed Lowrie (knee) and Todd Frazier (oblique) begin the season on the injured list.
