Snitker, Pendleton among Braves' candidates

ATLANTA -- After Brian Snitker concluded his Minor League playing career with the Braves at the end of the 1980 season, Hank Aaron, who then served as the team's farm director, gave him a job as a roving coaching instructor. Snitker has remained in the organization since, but until this past week, he had never had to go through an interview process.

Snitker's hope to have the interim tag removed from his managerial title has become more realistic as the Braves have taken a liking to his direction and have surged toward the end of the season. But before determining who will begin next season as its manager, Atlanta's front office will continue to evaluate both internal and external options.
