I think Snit's in game management has improved, but there have still been a few head-scratchers. Also, he has an 8-man pen that has performed pretty well. When the team hit's a rough patch and a few of the bullpen arms are struggling, I'll be interested to see how well he does navigating those waters.

I blame Coppy for ruining Albies' chance at winning ROY

Today should have been his debut

Man. I thought about that earlier. Is there anyone close right now if he were a rookie.

A ploy to keep his arb salaries down. Genius! That's why he got paid to do it!

[Garmel]

If history is any indication, you are.

I was right about one thing. You're a deranged nut. LOL! Tell me again about how Coppy was fired because he was too analytical for management.

[sturg33]

Heyward can still play D

I think oz can be extended. But it is getting more expensive.

I hope so. He's a monster. Will be a free agent very young

Johnny Almaraz was director of international scouting when Albies and Acuna were signed. The GM who promoted Johnny Almaraz to that position was Frank Wren.

The man was in the organization before Wren.

Is there still doubt that Coppy was scapegoated and there was a rift in the FO between the dorks and dinosaurs? Seriously?

Are you really this dense?

1-5 today. Time to trade Freeman?

[bravesfanMatt]

Professionally placed

[Heyward]

Thats never been the concern with JH.

And Wren identified his skill and promoted him. Come on, bro. Wren was far from perfect, but you should be able to give him a semblance of credit for the good things he did and/or that happened on his watch.

He should have been given the DeJong contract already. Missed opportunity if he wasn't.

You're the one that's dense. He was fired because **** hit the fan and they were looking for a scapegoat to protect themselves. One of many of your dumb conspiracy theories we had to hear during the off season.

[bravesfanMatt]

Minter. Viz. finish?

Let's go back and find all the times tehteh pimped how good Wren was when he was the GM. Should be endlessly entertaining.

True. But he was Wren's choice. It is not unknown for a GM to go outside the organization when filling in an important job like that. And indeed, that's what happened when Hart came in.
