I personally see Snitker as the stereotypical "company guy". He's stuck around for decades because he does a solid job, is a likable guy, and takes direction from leadership. I suspect he understood that this was the plan (a bench coach who will be asked to help with lineup construction and defensive positioning based on input from the analytics department) when he was talking with Hart about whether his option would be picked up. He may not love it, but I don't think it's his personality to push back in any major way.
