Highly doubt Snit gets replaced, but if we go one and done, i think/hope AA will talk to Snit about resting the starters more often. He should either way regardless. If/when we replace Snit, i think AA will look for a young, analytical type of manager.

Yeah, this needs to be addressed for sure. Snit may be blowing our 1 year with Donaldson by wearing out his starters. Who knows, but some of these injuries could've potentially been avoided with proper rest as we've all been discussing since the preseason
 
Angels have fired their manager after only 1 season....rumor from Ken Rosenthal recently was that they have close ties to Joe Maddon and if he became available, he was their guy

When was the last time we had a manager fans thought was good? And dont say Bobby Cox. I know that's how history will be written but a lot of fans couldn't wait for him to go.

There were a few guys on the old Scout board who loathed Bobby. I don't think any manager has universal acceptance from the fan base.
 
I bet a lot of managers would love to have 3 hall of fame pitchers on one team plus another in the field plus another “should be” in center. I think Fredi could win with that. But hey, you play the hand you are dealt. You either reap the rewards or pay the consequences
 
I appreciate Bobby a lot more now that he's gone.

I didn't want him gone either. But his absence has definitely left me appreciating how good he was at everything.

We've been criticizing snit for not resting players.

Well Bobby never had an issue resting guys. We know all about the Sunday lineups. If someone was as so much thought to be hurt he'd sit you the next day automatically and on the 2nd day maybe put you in to pinch hit before letting you back in.

Also, his bullpens weren't as good as the ones Fredi had and he still made it work. Yes it helped having rhe Big 3 able to pitch 7-8 innings and not have ti use your weak bullpen.

Hand you are dealt? You realize that Bobby is responsible for acquiring all of those guys sans Andruw, right?
