DENVER -- A number of former full-season Major League managers such as Bud Black, Brad Mills and Ron Roenicke, are beginning to surface in the Rockies' pursuit of a replacement for Walt Weiss.
Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich has said that previous Major League managing experience would be on a list of factors for Colorado's next manager, but it is not a necessary requirement.
Here's a look at those with significant experience:
• Black managed the Padres from 2008-15 and interviewed for the Braves' managerial vacancy; however, reports Monday had Atlanta close to hiring Brian Snitker, who finished 2016 as the interim skipper.
