For further information on these draft picks, check out Mariners Minors , a great site.

In case im not over the minimum yet, did you hear about the Dutch guy who found it funny to moon people sitting in a restaurant? He pressed his bare ass against the window to the dismay of everyone inside. The window broke and sliced his ass up.

Still a waste of draft picks though

But if there is any year to punt the draft, might as well be this year.

Phew I am glad we locked up Chris Kirkland.

So no other team will get their grubby paws on him.

Wow so we signed Burgess.

That’s good I think Dave was saying that he might go to college instead

Yes

This was one of my concerns.

Why would Czyz sign?

I mean, I’m glad he did and all, but it’s just really surprising.

Well done, M’s. Not often I’ve had cause to say that.

Yeah I'm impressed.

They signed a bunch of guys who I thought would at the very least be tough signs and possibly not sign at all

True, but not all of them.

Dennhardt’s still up there, so is Burnett, Newman, Jensen, Savastano, and Kelly.

There may be a few others that are good enough that I just haven’t gotten to digging anything up on yet. That may come later in the day, more likely, tomorrow.
