Massive Mariners Move: Jack Zduriencik Hired as GM

Replacing Jack Z.
The Brew Town Beat — In a move that should surprise nobody, Jack Zduriencik has finally been given the keys to an organization as a GM . The Seattle Mariners pulled the trigger after the Pirates didn't do so last offseason. We don't need to go on and on about how much he meant to the organization, his draft record speaks for itself. I'll be very surprised if the Brewers replace him from outside of the organization. Two of Jack Z's top assistants while he was with the Crew already moved up the food chain to become scouting directors with other teams, a telltale sign that his replacement is already ...

The Rogue Hour — ... The Crew will also be replacing their scouting director after Jack Z. skipped off to Seattle to be their new GM. Most fans are probably familiar with Zduriencik's role in the Brewers recent resurgance but for those who are very casual fans like me he is the guy who was responsible for drafting Prince Fielder, Manny Gallardo, Ryan Braun, and JJ Hardy among others. Obviously he will be missed but word is that his replacement will be coming from inside the organization so hopefully the dropoff will not be too great. ...
