When Mike Hazen was named general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks on Oct. 17, he remained tight-lipped on possible personnel changes.
Saying all the right things and pushing all the right buttons, the 41-year old Princeton graduate, at the same time, could be in the process of remaking the team in his own image.
While current discussion centers on building a scouting staff, additional front office personnel and a field staff of a manager and coaches, Hazen is faced with a larger issue. Sure, these administrative details must be addressed, but also the sense of losing.
