Loved the fact that Liddi was ahead of that ball, but kept the hands back long enough to launch it. I have very little doubt that he's a 25+ tater guy.  I also have little doubt that he's the M's 3B next year.  It is possible that he starts the year in Tacoma to save a year down the line.  I rather doubt it, however.
Loved the wrap around finish on Seager's homer. A 30-35 double and 10 homer SS would be quite nice, thank you.  I have less doubt, all the time, that we're looking at the M's SS for next  year.  I really like Ryan, but what he might bring in trade to a NL team (if he's healthy) is worth pondering.  Bullpen arm?
Loved Carp's moon shot.  Ackley, Carp, Smoak.....the M's version of Murderer's Row?  In 300 MLB PA's this year he has 30 extra-base hits.  In just a few less Tacoma PA's he had 35.  His game and growth has simply rolled over into the majors. It is less a leap than the next step in the progression.  More walks and just as much power will be next year's step.
