Here are the new coaching additions

[BeanieAntics]

Man, I don't know if I could look up and down a list of coaches and find a worse scenario than these guys.

 

[Hudson2]

This may be the worst coaching list I’ve seen anywhere. It’s like they wanna lose.

Led by Hernandez. The one coach that really needed to be gone is still here.

Knowledgeable FO?? Skilled FO?? Smart FO?? Answer NO to all.

 

[CyYoung31]

They should be letting the new GM hire his own coaches.

I remember that year, but not EYJ.

He was brought in on an NRI, had a hot spring, sparked a million utterly baffling "He's the leadoff hitter we've needed since Furcal left!" posts and predictably tanked once the games started mattering.

Yep, rings a bell now.

Sal Fasano. I haven't thought about him in a while. Hopefully he still has the handle bar stache

This was the Fasano mustache I remember most clearly. Porn 'stache deluxe!

 

[MadduxFanII]

Yep, rings a bell now.

I do apologize for reminding you.

I was excited about what the Braves might get for Grilli in trade at the deadline. I don't recall the sentiment being that the team was legitimately competitive, or that they would add at the deadline, prior to Grilli getting hurt.

The Braves had a Grille for a Yankees pitcher lined up, but the Braves foolishly wanted to see if they could contend. Grilling got hurt, the Braves predictably sucked, and the pitching prospect flew up lists and became a guy “the Yankees were no longer willing to talk about”.

We speculated at the time that the pitcher in question was Severino.

But yeah, genius FO.

I meant that the new GM should hire his own manager, who then should hire his own coaching staff.

That's why it's surprising to hear folks complain about the hirings - plenty of folks around here are starving for more high draft picks!!!

I think that team was around .500 when they started traded guys (the old 3B with the cars comes to mind) and promptly lost 30 of their next 40.

I'm still not seeing how any of you these guys are such bad options. I can understand a meh feeling, partly due to lack of information, but the sky is falling mentality seems to have no merit to me.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

something around 42-42 just before ASB went to Mil lost leads in all four games on to Col lost Grilli and hello tank.

He likely will next year

 

[Julio3000]

He likely will next year

I expect that he will, and will be surprised/disappointed if he doesn't.

I hear Fredi is on the market.
