Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
and all without a GM
what a crock
Only because MLB won't let them hold a former news conference.
The developments announced today are as follows (for those without the patience to call up the link):
The Braves hired Dave Trembley as director of player development and named Jonathan Schuerholz as assistant director of player development. Schuerholz, 34, is the son of John Schuerholz and spent the past four seasons managing lower-level minor league affiliates in the organization.
The Braves also realigned their scouting department with several moves including reassigning Ronnie Richardson from director of minor league operations to major league scout.
Trembley, 62, takes over as director of player development after two seasons on the Astros coaching staff, including a year as Bo Porter's bench coach in 2014. He has spent 30 years in professional baseball, including three as Orioles manager. Trembley was the Braves’ minor league field coordinator in 2011-2012.
Hart also announced that Rick Williams, a former major league pitching coach, would be back for a second season as a special assistant to the GM, and that would be more involved at the major league level and with special assignments.
Rockies GM steps down...could he be headed to Atlanta?

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
That's worse than keeping Fredi.

All we need to know about O'Dowd:
"Ultimately, though, the club posted winning seasons in only four out of fifteen seasons under O’Dowd."
Add O'dowd to the Special Assistant to the GM club.
Forever Fredi

he would be a perfect candidate to be the puppet the Braves are looking for
Hart is going to keep the interim title for a year or two until Coppollela will take the official title. Don't know why people are upset we haven't named a "permanent" gm yet.
JS trusts Hart a lot, and offered him the job so Hart could be interim for a while and JS would be fine.
Forever Fredi
