According to DOB, Fredi and Wren both got contract extensions. Might justify a separate thread.

Forever Fredi
Not sure how Fredi can get an extension after that showing in the playoffs last year. I'm willing to see if he grows as a manager but this is now a win-now team. Can't have a manager making insane decisions that potentially costs us playoff games (KIMBREL!)

That was an insanely dumb move but if you can't tell that Fredi Gonzalez has greatly improved from 2011 until now then you've not been paying attention. Fredi's management skills, particularly when it comes to the bullpen, the Kimbrel move aside, has been the area where he has improved the most.

Can't say as I am happy with the Fredi part but I am glad for Wren. Fredi is a good manager but he does not have that "IT" factor. Maybe this year he proves me wrong. I sure hope so.
Well Terry Francona won 2 world series so you never know. Francona is a worse manager than Fredi so you never know.
Problem is that you don't like having a weakness at manager because poor planning can put you in a bad position where you're totally reliant on your players to dig you out of a hole. For example, the time Fredi didn't bring in Kimbrel with the season on the line and the meat of the order coming up.

Continuing to lock up our young core. Love it.

Too soon.
Although give credit to Jerry they weren't locked up. They were out in the open in the showers.

Both deserved extensions.
We must have the whiniest fan base in professional sports. Hell, I whined too when I had time for it. Now that I'm working two jobs so I can get my wife thru nursing school, I'm just glad we have a baseball team in Atlanta.
Imagine it's 1989, and you'll all be happier.

so depressing to see Fredi get an extension
