I think it is appropriate to put this in the minor league thread....Stan Zielinski was an outstanding scout who signed plenty of terrific players from Cliff Floyd to Kyle Schwarber. He began his career with the White Sox in 1979 and had been with the Cubs since 2001

The Chicago Cubs midwest area scout was just 64 when he passes this week

This last line from the BA article quoting former Cubs GM Jim Hendry really sums up the value of a great scout...this was Hendry said about Zielinski

That’s how much I lean on the guy. He’s that good, and I don’t think the country’s ever heard of him.”
