I'd prefer Perez over De Rosa.


Both are terrible. There are other options besides the 3 common names everyone will post until a hire is made

Why would Perez be a bad hire?

Has plenty of MLB expierance as a player and coach. Knows the organization. Managed a Venezuelan team to a championship.

What behind the scenes stuff am I missing by refusing to give the AJC a dime?

he claims he forgot his password or something which is bullshite. the reality is that he thought he could fool everyone and stop getting shite on for his terrible posts. Problem with that strategy is that he posted the exact same bullshite as before and was called out on it almost immediately.


A couple years ago we had some let's meet at sonic disagreements and he got all pissy because I told him he was one of the most downvoted posters on this site, which is true. I would like to believe he is doing a great job at trolling all of us but he is way consistent for that to be. I check this site at most twice a day... I didn't even know he changed his username until I read a few of his posts and it clicked. I think he means well but has a disorder that the only reality that exists is in his head.

I don't really need someone that "knows the organization". That's what the front office is for

I hear tony v is a candidate for open MLB manager positions



One of his strengths is recruiting and that doesn't really translate, but he couldn't be any worse than Snit

So what's the negative with Perez? Or are you wanting someone with successful MLB expierance as a Manager.

If so, what candidates are there that meet that criteria?

If you are going to go with Perez then you might as well have kept Snitker.

And no...Snitker did not make the decision to leave.


I'm still waiting for some legit reasons why Perez should be the successor, even though it's a huge waste of time considering AA is going to clean house and reshape the leadership of the team moving forward.

Agreed. People give way too much credit and grief to baseball managers. Snitker was fine.

My point wasn't hatred for him, it was that Snit wasn't doing anything managerially that someone like Tony V (or many other managers) couldn't do. The whole reason he lasted this long is that he was "good in the clubhouse" and players liked him.

He was probably a net negative strategically, but anyone thinking getting rid of him is going to fix the team is highly off base.

He made some bad decisions and I think handled some situations with certainly players poorly. If you manage a team (as in top level management, not in game) in a way that no one is guaranteed a spot if they don't produce, why should the manage be immune to that?

I don't think its a given you can get someone better, but to act like he didn't have issues is just as dishonest as acting like he really made that much of a difference in our game results (he didn't).

Replacing him is "fine". I don't feel super strongly about it either way. But maybe some new blood will be good for the guys.

I just don't expect a big name (and therefore big $) kind of hire from AA. I'm keeping the potential options realistic considering the way this organization spends its money.

Maddon was making $4M a year in LA of A of OC just as a point of reference. I couldn't find anything definitive saying how much Snit was making last season.

Would AA go after John Gibbons? He was the Jays manager when AA was GM in Toronto and is currently the bench coach for the Mutts.

1. I don't think hiring a big name is necessary.
2. Manager's salaries have no bearing on luxury tax and all of that, so I'd expect that if there was a manager out there that AA really wanted, he would pay for it.
3. I believe that AA is cleaning house and not bringing in anyone who has ties to Bobby unless it's someone like David Ross who only played here for a few years.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but this team has looked at everything transactionally, not just in the eyes of the salary cap.

I'm sure the Braves would absolutely love to pay a manager $200K/yr to get good enough results so they can have another $3.8M to spend on real estate.

Kinda figured when Bochy was gone Schumaker would be their guy. It's too bad, he would have been an ideal hire for us.
