It was as if he had listened to one of Eric Wedge's speeches and was ready to run through a wall.

Zduriencik "embarrassed" by 2010

Quote is from Mike Salk, who sat down with Jack Z during the winter meetings. Something tells me I'll be paying more attention than usual to the Mariners in 2011.

Did Wedge’s speeches ever make anyone want to run through a wall? Isn’t that concept kinda anti-Wedge, who is the ultimate lunchpail/grinder type, or was I asleep for those 7 years?

Wedge’s motivational speech to open spring training is pretty legendary, from what I’ve read.

Spring training champs!

Actually, not for Wedge, who’s spring training record was 116-98 .542, with a pair of 2nd place finishes. Acta, however, managed the Tribe to a Cactus-League best .732 winning percentage in 2010, with a league-best +63 run differential. Manny’s opening speech must be awesome, indeed.

And oh-so-effective.

I think the original quote was from a Tribe player after Wedge’s inaugural ST speech.

Multiple people have been quoted on this.

“Bow your neck” and “trust the process” wouldn’t make me want to run through anything.

Throwing youngsters under the bus when he put together that feeble lineup? Whadda guy.

Mariners fans expect Wedge to “convince” their team to actually win. I hope he learned hypnosis during his season off.

In the new Geico commercial, Marte sings "Let me be myself" on Wedge's front lawn (with the cavemen).
