    you figured he would. wouldn't be surprised if Marky D. doesn't get one either.

    Not sure about Black.. supposed to be good with pitchers, but never did anything with the Friars.. I understand not having anything to work with.. but...

    It really should be an easy decision to hire Snitker for this job.

    I don't think Washington would like it here. There's not a good bathroom to do coke in.

    Ugh... if this is the lot we are attracting, then just give me Snitker.

    I was hoping for a more forward looking bunch.

    This quote from Snitker gives the impression that both he and the front office have agreed that he'll be retained in some capacity. My best guess is that Bud Black will be offered the job if he interviews well and agrees to make Snitker his bench coach.

    Snitker
    T.P.
    E. Perez
    Bo Porter

    External candidates:

    Ron Washington

    The list does not include candidates that have been rumored yet such as DeRo, Ross, etc.

    I don't think there's any way you can hire an internal option over Snitker. So to me, it's either Snitker or an outside hire.

    I'd be interested in DeRosa and Ross. I like the idea of not having a retread.
    But the players seem to love Snit, so I think you take a bit of a risk if you move on from him after his success.

    Wouldn't Washington and/or Gardenhire be a step back towards the stone ages of baseball thinking?

    I'm struggling to find good info about any of these candidates other than W/L records.

    I had the same thought.

    Washington was routinely shredded for his bullpen management in Texas. I'm not that familiar with Gardenhire's strategic tendencies, but I can't imagine they are that forward thinking.

    Honest to God, if we aren't going to pursue someone progressive, I would much rather have the throwback guy we already have who has the support of the team currently.
