http://0rz.net/5b1OQ 09/02/2006 8:52 PM ET Diamondbacks name scouting director VP and special assistant to GM Gebhard given extension By Pete Kerzel / MLB.com WASHINGTON -- The Arizona Diamondbacks hired Tom Allison as their new scouting director on Saturday and signed Bob Gebhard to a two-year extension as vice president and special assistant to general manager Josh Byrnes. Allison, a West Coast and Midwest scouting supervisor with the Milwaukee Brewers, replaces Mike Rizzo, who left the Diamondbacks for a position with the Washington Nationals. Allison also has experience in scouting and player development with the New York Mets. Allison joined the Mets' scouting department after five years as a Minor League player and was part of the Double-A Binghamton Mets Eastern League championship squad as a player/coach in 1994. He was promoted from administrative assistant to assistant scouting director in November 1995 and worked as area scouting supervisor for the Mets from 1997-99. "He's efficient in all areas," Byrnes said of Allison between games of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington at RFK Stadium. "He's a good evaluator, he seems to have experience and knows how to run a good department. He has the background and skills to be proficient in all those areas." One of nine candidates interviewed for the opening, Allison's stock rose after Byrnes spoke with Jack Zduriencik, the Brewers' director of amateur scouting, who hired Allison when he moved from the Mets to Milwaukee. "Tom had excellent people give him very strong recommendations, certainly [enough] to include him in the process," Byrnes said. "The more we checked, and the interview itself, made it apparent he was the right guy." Gebhard joined the Diamondbacks before the 2005 season after five years as vice president and assistant general manager with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was general manager of the Colorado Rockies from 1991-99. --- 簽了Tom Allison當了新的scouting director， 用來填補Mike Rizzo去Nationals當AGM後的空缺。 他主要的經歷是Brewers的西部及中西部scouting， 以及Mets的scouting和player development部門。 另外跟Bob Gebhard簽了兩年的延長合約， 做為Vice President and JB的特別助理。 --
