M's news quiet while Fans watch Seahawks

Sure, Julio Meteo and Willie Bloomquist both signed deals and avoided arbitration, but it hardly gets the bloggers excited. This is the slow part of the year where most of the free agents have signed, and few trades happen. The team you see now is pretty much what we will see heading into Spring Training.

Combine that with the Seahawks success and all will be quiet until February.

Let's hope the Seahawks go to the Super Bowl. There is a good chance this will be a really long summer, and who knows, the team might learn something.

When the 'Hawks take the field, you'll notice:
- the stars for the most part were drafted, or came via trade
- high-priced free agents for the most part were busts
- team signed select older veterans to short-term deals to fill gaps
- front office matters
- team reluctant to give huge deals to stars about to enter declining phase

What do you think? Should the M's learn anything from the Seahawks?
