Mostly a rumor and speculation at this point in time, but an interesting read:

Nothing important to add other than I hope Jack Z doesn't go anywhere for a long time...

I find this bit particularly interesting.

 

Giving Zduriencik credit because the Brewers ownership signed the best picks available in the draft each year, hired competent development men, and got lucky along the way with his toolsy high school draft picks is simply ridiculous. That's about as silly as saying it's all Brian Graham's fault the Pirates farm stinks.

Yeah, we're just flush with all those successful toolsy high school guys.
