Snit better be. He's earned it. This team could've quit a long time ago but instead he got them to play over their heads. He's the man.

He got some help... Swanson and kemp really made this a better team.

I certainly think snitker has done well enough to get the job, but I won't be irate if they go another way.

Even before kemp and Swanson came aboard he had them playing hard and a winning at a just below .500 clip. And with the triple AAA lineup he had then that was a minor miracle. If it's not snit it better be a home run hire.
Really Clark?

Blair pitched really well tonight against the Tigers with 10k's over 6 innings. He is showing flashes. Snit really managed our starting pitching and the bullpen about as well as you could with who he had to use. I believe they really try to add a starter, maybe 2, this winter if they can. But with a solid consistant rotation...I would like to see what Snit can do with a full team.

It's gonna be bud black or snitker and I'm fine with either

Snit was so much better handling than the staff and bullpen than Freddie it was like night and day. Guy knows his stuff.

I think we add 2 FA starters, mac at catcher, albies at 2b, resign Jim Johnson, and either upgrade 3b or rf.

Black would be a good one. Just like seeing folks rewarded for good work.

It would be wrong if it was anyone other than Brian Snitker. I would be surprised if it is anyone else either.

It would be cool to see a former M-Brave manager become the Braves manager. I remember Davey Johnson managing the Jackson Mets before becoming the New York Mets manager.

It ain't gonna matter who it is till they start acting like a team that wants to win on the market. I get the building for the future stuf but the future has to arrive sometime.

Gotta be snit. I like TP but it'd be a slap in the face if they hire someone on the staff other than snitker. He's earned it.

This team is awful close. A couple of good signings and meaningful games late are a real possibility.

I'm voting for Snitker. He's done great and I think this team assembled the way it currently is wins 80 games next year. Go out and make a couple moves to get another RH bat, a catcher, and a few other pieces and this team could win 90.

Well the jim Johnson part is done. Braves just announced 2-year deal

Johnson signs 2 year extension, wasn't sure they would go 2. Teheran is flat dealing today against the Tigers.
