When Brian Snitker was named as the interim replacement for Fredi Gonzalez, many thought that he was just a place holder until Bud Black was named as the full-time replacement. While the Braves did consider Black, they opted to stick with Snitker after the team’s strong finish to the 2016 season. Was this the correct choice?
Scott Coleman: I’m fine with it given the contract the Braves gave him. It’s not like they locked him up through 2022. If the team is dead in the water by July, a change can easily be made. If they’re still in the hunt come August, you hand Snitker a fat contract extension.
