Change is inevitable during the off-seasons. On average, teams will change out 25-35% of there roster from year-to-year. The Atlanta Braves are no different, but unlike many clubs, their manager – and coaching staff – needs to be retained if at all possible.
Some… disagree:
It’s extremely difficult to replace a legend. Fredi Gonzalez learned that. But it was the result of Gonzalez losing the fight and fire in his team that brought us to the place where Brian Snitker more-or-less accidentally became the manager of the Braves.
In the process, the team found someone probably about as close to Bobby Cox as they might ever see.
