    Managerial Merry-Go-Round

    Even before the playoffs start:

    1) Robin Vetura out, coach Rick Renteria promoted by White Sox

    2) Walt Weiss out in Colorado

    3) Chip Hale out in Arizona

    4) Mike Scioscia officially confirmed as returning to the Angels in 2017

    If we're counting positional coaches, Barry Bonds was fired by the Marlins too.

    Not surprised, what does Bonds know about hitting anyways.

    Jokes aside, it really isn't shocking that Barry Bonds couldn't manage to form connections with others. Dude was always a jerk and that wasn't just going to stop.

    I can't believe the Twins are retaining Molitor. I don't know if there were orders from above, but any manager who was trotting guys like Logan Schafer and Jim Beresford out there during a 100-loss season should get axed.

    Don't you read this message board? It's all about the draft pick, dude.

    Eddie Perez is under consideration for the Rockies' manager position. Looks like Eddie Perez and Glenallen Hill are the favorites there.

    Good for Eddie - he certainly deserves an opportunity. Just not sure he's the guy I want for the Braves. Hope he proves me wrong if he gets one of the other jobs.
    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?

    Heck, the Twins' front office may have ordered him to play those guys.

    Hope he gets it.

    Aside from him being a good guy, it may open the doors for trade activity between the Rocks and Braves.

    Hope he gets it. Would really signal the end of the Braves Way era in regards to management and coaching staff. But I think that would be a welcome change.

    I'd be content with either one. Still think Black is gonna get the nod. If that is indeed that case, hope Balsley is hired as well, I think he'd to a great job with the staff. Regardless, next year should be fun.

    I just want the search to be over soon. That way we can start working on the field staff quickly. Then we can focus on how we can improve our ball club.

    As of yesterday, Black and Snitker are leading candidates, but Washington sounds like he really impressed in his interview.
