New contest: Be the first to name the new skipper!

[rico43]

Time for another contest: can you be the first to correctly name/guess who will be the new manager of the Atlanta Braves for 2017. One guess per user name.

Two vintage Atlanta Braves media guides will be awarded to the winner.

I'll throw down the gauntlet by starting with my favorite, David Ross.

GO FOR IT

 

[Russ2dollas]

Eddie Perez

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Brian Snitker

Not what I want, but hey.

 

[Horsehide Harry]

Walt Weiss

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Dansby Swanson because he is that good.

 

[msstate7]

Fredi Gonzalez

Little known fact... he was let go to have TJ surgery from tipping cap so much. He's on his way to a full recovery and will be back soon

 

[thewupk]

Dansby Swanson because he is that good.

Walt Weiss was already picked

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Mark DeRosa

 

[mqt]

Since I won't be first for anything else, Bud Black

 

[Chico]

Sandy Alomar JR

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Walt Weiss was already picked

I really wanted to make this joke around that pick.. but couldn't find the delivery.

 

[Hudson2]

I'll go with Mark Derosa also. He's young and a high energy guy. He'd make it fun

 

[UNCBlue012]

Bud Black

 

[praeceps93]

Dave Martinez. Bench coach for the Cubs

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

Glenn Hubbard

 

[Enscheff]

Maddon. He is bored winning with a good roster and wants the challenge of winning with this set of bums.

 

[Anthony J. Pierzynski]

I can't disclose a name but suffice it to say that I know him very well and see him every day.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Since Black and Martinez have already been named, I'm going outside the box and say Dave Righetti

 

[DaneHill]

I'll go with Terry Pendleton. Extra credit: Coppy and Terry will talk Chipper into being the official batting coach to launch the new stadium.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

how about Tony La Russa with Dave Stewart as his bench coach.

since Coppy already own these guys.. might as well put them to work..
