Sunday, July 13 is proving to be perhaps the best day the Seattle Mariners have had all year. They warmed up by defeating the Detroit Tigers to complete a three-game sweep, and then they had Kade Anderson fall into their laps with the No. 3 pick in the MLB Draft.
The selection of Anderson is equal parts huge win and massive gift, courtesy of the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels. The LSU left-hander was in the running to go No. 1 overall, yet there he was for the M's at No. 3 after the Nats and Angels both passed.
