Ike Davis as Week 3 FAAB target

Jason Mastrodonato suggests new Met 1B Ike Davis as the highest FAAB target on his early list at $134.
I think in many NFBC and WCOFB leagues his acquisition price will be higher and here are a few reasons why I think he will exceed the $123 I paid for Ty Wigginton last week:
1) There are some teams with weak 1B and/or CI - certainly those playing Jacobs or maybe teams playing Conor Jackson or Feliz Pie or Aaron Rowand at UT
2) The NYC factor - don't discount this, there are LOTS of players in those leagues who are from New York City which will drive the price higher
3) Teams who missed out on Wigginton or Andruw Jones or Eugenio Velez or Ryan Sweeney last week may decide he is the best hitter available this week (allthough I saw Jose Bautista and his two Monday HR dropped in a few leagues) and try and make up for lost time
Personally while "I LIKE IKE" - I did get to see him a lot when he was starring for ASU here in the valley - I think he is more Kotchman than Delgado, and hopefully not Overbay. That is I think the BA will be fine but the power will not be there .....This year. I do like him long term if for some reason he is available in NL only keeper leagues (already rostered in a minor leaguer in both of my leagues).
I will come back and review this later in the week after I finish the Shopping Cart, but right now I think rostering Davis will cost close to $199
