Wish they would just hire Snit. Messing with team chemistry is not smart at this stage. Two good free agent signings and this is a possible playoff team.

reading an article out of Oakland, it seems like Washington is known for his good work developing infielders. That would make sense with guys like Swanson, Albies, Garcia, and Freeman....Bud Black, from what I hear, is good with developing pitchers. So it seems like all 3 of the major candidates (Snit, Black, Washington) all bring something to the table in terms of good value.

I don't know why, but that pic scares the hell out of me. Like Jack Nick in The Shining when he put his inside the room.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
He's both white and black.
Indeed, it's quite the riddle, the Braves' fascination with him.

I hope we hire that Boston guy or maybe keep Snitker. Don't know anything about Gardenhire though.

Nightengale, at least to me, seems to be one of the better insiders. From what I have seen, he seems to know the Braves well, so this seems very believable to me.

If we get Washington, this will be posted after every Braves win.

Ron Washington is a good players coach but he hates all the new advanced stats and refuses to use them. That was part of the reason him and JD (Rangers GM) butted heads in the past before he left. However, I do like Ron and how excited he gets on the bench.

Reading the players' quotes about Snitker makes it really difficult to not lean toward him as the guy. Ultimately, you want someone the team is going to respect and play hard for. The other thing to think about, though, is how will they play when the pressure is turned up a little more so to speak and the team is expected to contend?

Under his staff who would be some of his coaches....? Otis Nixon as hitting coach, chip carray as bench coach?

And I think that's why I lean on the side of a Ron Washington. He led teams to consecutive WS appearances in TX.
Don't get me wrong Snit did a great job.

Bud Black would still be my choice of those named.

Bud Black has always been my choice, once I realized it was time to get Fredi out the door a couple years back. He's 100% player's manager in the vein of Bobby Cox and Bruce Bochy. You can't go wrong with that. He won 90 games with a suspect Padres team in 2010, and is great with pitching staffs and bullpens.
Other than that, just give Snitker the job. Player loyalty and respect is the most important thing when it comes to baseball managers.

Think Weiss gets it if Bobby has any part in the process.
