The Detroit Tigers’ Director of Player Development Glenn Ezell resigned his post in the middle of the MLB draft today.
↵The 65-year-old Ezell had held the position since 2007, and was in his 44th season of professional baseball.
↵↵↵“I am proud of the players we have developed over the past few years that have formed the foundation for the future success of the Detroit Tigers,†Ezell said in a statement.
↵
↵“I am moving on now in other directions.â€
Ezell’s departure seems small on the outside, but it could be huge considering all the young talent Detroit has developed recently such as power hitter Brennan Boesch.
↵Temporarily taking his place will be the Tigers’ Assistant GM Al Avila, the father of catcher Alex Avila.
