Making his first start of the season, Lucas Duda went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Thursday against the Nationals. Ideally the Mets would have settled on a first baseman by the end of spring training, but Duda and Ike Davis were both injured for most of the Grapefruit League schedule. So now the competition will extend into the regular season. With Josh Satin still expected to get at-bats against left-handers, it could be tough for Duda or Davis to really get into a groove offensively. It's not an ideal situation for the Mets or fantasy owners.
