Given that Seattle had the 31st pick in the draft, I'd say they made a good choice w/ what they had. Miami CB's are usally extremely quick and possess good cover skills. He didn't exactly light up it up stats wise (32 tackles, 3 INT's), but that could be in part to the fact that they didn't throw his way. I'm not all that familiar w/ Tapp or Sims, but word on the street (blogs, etc) indicate that they are good picks as well. Needless to say, given Ruskell's track record from last year's draft, I'm confident w/ his selections.
Onto the M's.....well, well, well. Like the stock market, they are up +2 points this week w/ heavy trading. Ok, enough stock talk, but they DID pull 2 out of 3 from Baltimore, which to me is impressive. Eddie's not quite back to being "Steady Eddie" just yet, but 2 for 2 in save opportunities are fine by me. Even though Beltre's hitting .150, his glove still showed some serious skills w/ that 9th inning stab to save the game. Let's hope the M's can keep the stock rising and hit .500!

Lets not forget the 2-3 the M's took from the World Champs. In the immortal words of the Asian groundskeepers in the movie Major League. "They still Suck".
Until I see a couple more big series like this I am going to keep my comments.
