It's on their Cactus/Hot Stove league podcast page.  The interview was after the three were sent down and Blowers or Rizz asked why did Paxton/Walker/Hultzen all get sent down at once?
Paraphrasing from memory (I listened Tuesday) Z mentioned their inexperience and personal maturity.  Walker was only 19.  Hultzen has only pitched in the AFL professionally.  Paxton took 1 1/2 years off of baseball.  He also said he expects two, if not all three, to be in the Majors this summer.
Z also talked about his general method for prosepects.  He wants them to be emotionally prepared to handle MLB on more than the baseball level.  He also would rather be one day late on promoting a player rather than one day early.  His reasoning is that if you do it one day early, you could ruin a player for his career.  If you're one day late, then you still have the career.
It was obvious from the interview that the Mariners look wholistically at a player rather than just at baseball ability.  He mentioned Sweeney and why he traded him to Philly - because Sweeney had never played playoff baseball and it was his last chance.  Z didn't trade him until it was to a playoff team.  Z talked about Saunders' personal life - two years of his mother dying from cancer, finally passing this summer, and then getting married and moving over the Winter.
I think Z was honest Hultzen was competing for a job, but at the end of the day, Hultzen didn't have all the skills Z requires for a starting job out of Spring Training.
