2016 Braves Thread

Braves just announced that they have retained Brian Snitker as the manager for 2017. Good move. I think he earned that.

Like the move, think he deserved it. Also like hiring Ron Washington as 3rd base coach. He isn't a great manager but is an excellent coach in working with the players.

If I were Snitker, I'd have passed when they said Washington was coming. How does he manage when his heir apparent is coaching 3rd and telling every perceived error to the brass upstairs?

Ron Washington is too old and carries too much baggage to be the heir apparent.

Guarantee you if Snitker gets off to a bad start, and the millenials stop flocking to the new stadium, Washington will be off of third and running the dugout. Snitker is in a tough spot here, Washington's baggage won't be that big an issue to the fans. Only to the local media here,
which no one pays attention to anyway.

Good article on the Washington hire.
