Ike Davis was taken by the Mets! And Paramore by the A's!

At least they're teams I like--I don't know what I'd do if those teams were the Yankees and the Indians or something.

Petey went to the A's? He'll be with Huston someday, then! (...that would be such a cool battery.)

I got so excited when the Mets got Ike because it means that one summer, presuming he stays in the organization, I'll be watching him play on my TV! I had a little Pac-10 party in my basement when the draft went down (...which was basically me spazzing when a non-Cal kid was taken).

I know! Huston and Petey? That makes me absurdly happy. Plus, the Sox have been talking about various trade deals with the A's over the last while...

...dude, how awesome would it be if the Sox somehow managed to get both of them? I know it sounds unlikely, but it's pretty cool to think about...
