    Snitker demoted to AAA, Dascenzo new 3B coach

    @ajcbraves: Brain Snitker has been reassigned from 3B coach to AAA Gwinnett Manager. Minor leaver rover Doug Dascenzo named 3B coach. Braves announced. (http://twitter.com/ajcbraves/status/389768609502736385)

    @tom_hart: Before Game 1 of the NLDS a member of the Braves coaching staff told me Brian Snitker provided an advantage over other playoff teams. (http://twitter.com/tom_hart/status/389769109988474880)

    I don't understand this move in the slightest, really. Can recall very few (if just one or two) occasions over the past season where I thought Snitker blatantly screwed up. If anyone were to have gone, I was thinking Pendleton -- after that little brush-up with Chris Johnson.

    This isn't considered a promotion for Snitker is it?

    I always thought Snitker was a disaster... but 2013 had less bad decisions.

    Having said all that, I sure hope this isn't our "coaching" move of the off season. Fredi needs to go

    I would do the same thing. Pendleton is not doing his job getting our guys the best opportunity possible to steal. Watch a good 1B coach and they are helping their guys with pickoff moves, timing, etc.

    Not a single coach in the organization seems to know a thing about baserunning. Such a huge weakness.

    I really liked the job Fredi did at third. Would love to see him take Snitker's place.
