New Manager Discussion

He’d be horrible. That is another dude that doesn’t understand the modern game and has no interest in learning.

How do you know he has no interest?

Have you heard him talk during interviews?

 

[Carp]

Oh Christ we’ve reached a new level of stupid

It's a joke dude. Relax.

 

[Hudson2]

I don't guess I paid attention to any analytical talk

Obviously Buck Showalter is out there, but he seems like someone unwilling to adjust to the modern game also.

I see Dave Martinez mentioned, didn't realize he was 61. His record with the Nationals is 500-622. While it's true much of that was during a rebuild, I do remember some underwhelming performances immediately after they won it all.

Wonder what it would take to poach Kevin Cash from the Rays.

 

[Hudson2]

Schumaker
Melvin
Cash
Baldelli

Those seem like the 4 favorites around here. I just hope we don't see Weiss get a shot or Freddi G come back. Those would be beyond terrible

 

[Tapate50]

I'm not sure id include a guy currently employed.

Ross would probably be fine.

What if we made Acuña a player manager? That way he would less likely to get angry when we sign Kyle Tucker.

I know *you* were joking, unfortunately the dummies aren’t

It would be a dream to get paid 10/15 mil a year just to hit 4 times a game. But I’m a lazy mf’er

No way he could put up a stop sign if he were on base. Genius!

One name I haven’t seen mentioned that might make some sense - Ryan Flaherty. He’s the bench coach for Counsell with the Cubs and also worked with Melvin with the Padres.

I’ve seen his name mentioned, not necessarily with the Braves, but for other openings. Not sure how much experience is going to matter in the Braves search or not. I definitely see him as a potential fit somewhere

I do believe he played for us briefly in 2018? With the inimitable Preston Tucker...?

You’re right - I thought I remembered him having a pretty hot start with us, but he ended with -0.4 WAR so that might be wrong.

He was great for a short stint before coming back to earth

He and Tucker both had a hot start. Unsung heroes for a few weeks. Then went back down to earth.

Isn’t he related to Jace Peterson or something like that?

Jace screwing his sister, I think

Glen Hubbard might be available.
