That didn’t take long. It was only about 3 weeks ago that we got a hint to the direction that Atlanta Braves‘ manager Brian Snitker was leaning for his lineup this year. While we and others have dissected that a bit in recent days, here’s how that was laid out to us:
Anthopoulos said Snitker is now leaning toward his lineup starting like this: Inciarte, Donaldson, Freeman, Acuna, Markakis
Dave O’Brien added that this idea was ‘Not set in stone’, but Gabe Burns then noted that once set, Snitker said that he wouldn’t be ‘tinkering’ with things until after the All-Star Break.
