There's Swanson's warning track power. Little Leaguer just can't hit the ball deep.
They gave Sniker a one year deal right? They knew he was a place holder and I think it was a "thank you for all the years of service" type hire. If they play like they probably will...his contract won't be renewed and he'll take a position in the orginazation.
Most likely there was no one that they interviewed that hit a home run. Sniker is a place holder...just like half of the other players.

I would love to find out what a mlb manager interview is actually like. This is how I imagine it goes...
Braves - "who should hit leadoff?"
Manager "The fastest player"
Braves - "but what if he has a ****ty obp"
Manager "obp? What's that?"
Braves -"your hired"
6-12 record losing 6 straight....and 7 of the next 10 games are against the Mets and their great pitching.
In the next 10 games, Atlanta will see the following pitchers:
Syndergaard twice
Harvey twice
deGrom
Wheeler
Jimmy Nelson
You can then extend the schedule to 3 games at home against the Cardinals where they will face:
Wacha
Martinez
Wainwright
It's a distinct possibility that this team could be 8-23 or so after these next 13 games.
What's sad is there 2 positional players (Albies, demeritte) in our upper farm system to be excited about and both play 2b.
Scary thing is they interviewed TP, Eddie, and Wash and they still brought back Snit. And one of those three is likely in line to replace Snit whether he gets canned or not renewed.
When is maitan expected to debut this year? I need something to look forward to
We probably should pull him up to get jersey sales and build late season momentum for the magical 2018
