Second Interviews
It turns out Jack Zduriencik already interviewed a number of managerial candidates:
Melvin's top assistant at the time was Jack Zduriencik. Randolph later told confidantes that he knew Zduriencik was up for the Mariners general manager's job and that he might be, in essence, interviewing for two jobs at the same time.
Zduriencik eventually landed in Seattle. Monday at the general managers' meetings, he talked about the Randolph scenario without specifically mentioning Randolph.
"I sat in on some interviews Melvin had in Milwaukee," Zduriencik said. "And I was privy to what went on in some other interviews I didn't sit in on.
"So when I'm going through the interviews, for some it will be like a second interview."
That should make the managerial hiring process easier, since Zduriencik should already have a good idea who he likes.
