Snitker has been loyal to the organization. I think he will do well as AAA manager.

I'm going to strike fear into all of you. For those of you who don't remember Dascenso as a player, he could really, really, really bunt well. Seeing how Fredi likes to bunt a lot, this only makes sense.
Maybe Snitker going down is to prepare him to take Fredi's spot later.

Curious if there is a difference in pay with the change in roles. Snitker is an organizational guy. Moving coaching and managerial staffs around is pretty common at the minor league level, but it's not unheard of for guys move down from the big league coaching staff to a minor league managing/coaching position.
Dascenzo, in addition to being a two-time champion as manager, was the Braves' minor league baserunning coach the last two seasons. Perhaps you noticed they stole a buttload of bases this year.

Our problem isn't stealing bases, our problem is striking out too much.
We've always had a reputation for being a pitch to contact pitching staff, now we're a pitch to can't make contact lineup.
Forever Fredi
Wait- the italian caddie from Caddy Shack is going to be our 3B coach?

Sliding is going to be on hte player. Can coach the player as much as you want, but Heyward and Simmons are always going to slide head-first to first base whether someone tells htem to or not.
We have some of the best baserunners in the league (Simmons, Heyward, etc).
The things you mentioned are fundamentals taught in little league.
Forever Fredi
I remember when Rob Dibble chucked a ball at him after he put down a successful squeeze.
