Frank: Giants surprise the NL west ■ Continued from Page 11 was just toying with the rest of the league by losing three of its final four or if the Bulls are actually slumping for the first time in two seasons. Chances are they were just toying with the rest of the league. The NFL Draft, the lone event that keeps ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. employed, took place last weekend, and three former Ducks had their names called. Kenny Wheaton, who left the Ducks after his ju nior season, suffered from slow 40-yard sprint times at NFL workouts (consistently 4.7) and an extreme ly talented crop of comerbacks. The former Duck dropped to the end of the third round, 94th overall. Tony Graziani was a surprise after he recovered from the knee injury he suffered last season. He will be reunited with former Oregon head coach Rich Brooks in Atlanta as he was selected by the Falcons with the third pick in the seventh round. Finally, there is baseball. Surprise, surprise, Atlanta is off to a quick start at 13-4. But what is a surprise is the Giants’ start. With their win over Florida Sunday, the Giants have won nine in a row and are leading the National League west at 13-3. And in the American League, Seattle’s bullpen struggled at the start of the season, which was ex pected, but the Mariners jumped on Ken Griffey Jr.’s hack and have won nine of their last 11 games. Griffey’s home run in Seattle’s 10-6 win Sunday was his ninth of the season. Maybe as soon as Griffey starts to slow down and the NBA and NHL playoffs are over, I’ll have enough time to be able to pass my 12 credits. Ryan Frank is a sports editor for the Emerald.
