I feel a draft

First three picks:
18. Ike Davis - 1B/OF (ASU)
23. Reese Havens - 2B/SS (SCU)
33. Brad Holt - RHP (UNC - Wilmington)

Hopefully, in about 5 years, Citi Field is swarmed with people wearing "I LIKE IKE" shirts, buttons, hats, and other paraphernalia.

Here are a few POST headlines I know I will see if these three make the bigs:
  • "IKE 4 PREZ," "I LIKE IKE" (of course), and for if/when he stinks it up, the opposing viewpoint, "DON'T LIKE IKE!"
  • "HEAVEN FOR HAVENS," "THANK HAVENS FOR HEAVEN" (or switch it to "THANK HEAVEN FOR HAVENS" though I think they'll throw a curveball at us, especially if he hits a walks-off), "REESE'S PEICES."
  • "HOLT THE BOLT" (for when he steals his first base, and throws seven solid innings), and finally, "HOLT .45's."
Good luck, you three. Hope to see you in Citi Field in a few years.
