Jack Z's name keeps cropping up as a possible GM hire, especially for the Pirates (a blurb in the latest SI suggested him for the Pittsburgh job as well).
"Obviously, we don't want him to go, but he would be a great GM," said second baseman Rickie Weeks..."He knows the game and I think he would be a great guy to run a team."
Big Z's take on the issue?
"He's a great guy overall," added third baseman Ryan Braun..."He's very positive, very optimistic, very professional. He's probably the most professional guy I have come across in my career."
"Do I have ambitions to be a GM? Yes. Absolutely."
Regretfully they tell us, but firmly they compel us...
