Jack Zduriencik feels Bill Hall brings Mariners "versatility" and will rebound from current slump

Via Seattle Times  |  August 19, 2009
Just got off the phone with GM Jack Zduriencik,who told me the reason he went after Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Bill Hall because of his versatility, the power he brings and -- of course -- the price. The Brewers are picking up most of the remaining $10.3 million on Hall's four-year deal, which runs through next season. Zduriencik wouldn't tell me how much money the Mariners...

Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu on Bill Hall: not sure where he fits yet

Just got up from a happier post-game clubhouse than we saw last night, after this one ended with a David Aardsma strikeout (photo above) of Alex Avila. Small wonder, since the Mariners now have 62 wins -- one more than all of last season. While that part is nice from a symbolic perspective, it's not all that much to crow about considering how low the bar had been set by the...

Via Seattle Times  |  August 19, 2009
Don't forget to read our interview with Jack Zduriencik in the prior post about his trade today for Milwaukee Brewers third baseman/outfielder Bill Hall. A report in SI.com says the Brewers will pick up $7.15 million of the $8.5 million in 2009 salary owed to Hall. That jives with what I've been told: that the M's barely had to pay anything in this deal. As for tonight...
