One of Jerry Dipoto's first big hires is here and he's an encouraging guy.
First of all full credit to Bob Dutton from The News Tribune, who had this thing from the get to. I always think it's kind of funny that our culture is so ready to heap so much praise on reporters for reporting news first, but it's a thing we value and Bob nailed it.
While everyone was lurching, reporting, and denying the rumors that the Mariners were interviewing/offering their managerial position to Heathcliff Slocumb purchasing currency Jason Varitek the news of McKay's hiring has been a bit under the radar.
