Ex-Everett manager Grifol named minor league director


Posted at 1:49 pm by By Kirby Arnold

While the Mariners remained without a manager -- that could change by within days -- they made more moves in the front office today.

New general manager Jack Zduriencik announced that he has promoted Pedro Grifol to minor league director. The 38-year-old Grifol, the organization's coordinator of instruction the past three seasons, managed the Everett AquaSox from 2003-2005.

Zduriencik has hired Tim Tolman , 52, to fill Grifol's job as minor league instruction coordinator. Tolman was the Washington Nationals' third-base coach the past two seasons and, before that, worked 18 years in the player development departments of the Indians and Astros. Tolman was an outfield for parts of eight seasons with the Astrols and Tigers.

Greg Hunter, the Mariners' minor league director the past two years, will be re-assigned within the organization.

The next announcement could be the new manager. Zduriencik spent the weekend reviewing his notes and making followup calls to the seven finalists for the job. He hoped to announce his choice this week, perhaps as early as Tuesday.
