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

Torey Lovullo

Since DeRo has already been taken, I'll go outide the box with someone who hasn't been mentioned at all - Manny Acta.

I also wouldn't be surprised at all if both Cora brothers and Varitek get interviews.

Hmm, Varitek. Interesting thought.

Crap...late to the party. Ummm..... Dan Uggla.

 

[Chipper]

Eddie Perez

 

[skillet]

Snitker.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

 

[50PoundHead]

The ghost of Casey Stengel.

 

[rico43]

Including mine, 17 legit guesses so far. Remember, it does you no good to be the second person to predict a name. Perez and Snitker were our first two...

 

[AerchAngel]

I hope to god not Snitker. IF you think FG was terrible with bullpen management, Snitker would write the book on how to ruin one.

Bud Black will be the manager, hands down. We can offer the most money and he is a darn good manager.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Initially they offer it to Swanson but later determine him not to be ready and go with Mark Derosa.

 

[CyYoung31]

Bobby Cox.

 

[goldfly]

Mike Scioscia

 

[Runnin]

Bobby Cox.

Damn you.

Well then, Joe Simpson.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Since Snitker is already taken, I'll go Ned Yost.

 

[Freshmaker]

Rafael Belliard

 

[GovClintonTyree]

I'm thinking David Ross.

 

[chop2chip]

I think it will be Snitker given the strong finish and he does seem to legitimately have strong support from the players (and if that's the case, then I'm fine to hire him).

If not, Torey Luvollo makes plenty of sense. He's loved by the Boston players, very smart, and is a lot younger than Snit. He would be my top choice.
