Everyone is looking for a pattern. I believe the pattern with Jack Zduriencik is..."get the best player in the deal". Period. End of story. Now part of his analysis of who the best player in the deal is rests on his talent evaluation...rests on his view of what the club needs from the players he's looking at and his view of a player's contribution to the atmosphere he's trying to build in the clubhouse. But I honestsly believe his entire philosophy, summed up in one line, is, "make the team better with every move"
