Will Snitker be back?

Does Snitker have what it takes? I mean, aside from being really inexpensive. He seems to always be slow to pull a pitcher. As another example, did anyone groan when Beckham came up to hit and wonder what was Snitker doing?

Chime in....

Sorry, Snitker is Interim Manager of Atlanta Braves. Everyone seems to like him.

I don't care much about his personality I wonder can he coach in the Big Leagues.

What I see so far is he seems very reluctant to pull a pitcher and he keeps pinch hitting veterans and others who have a demonstrated inability to hit a baseball.

He had a well-traveled infielder who fell into a slump and Snitker repeatedly used him in pinch-hit spots. The Braves released him to the Giants who needed an infielder.

Guess you got your answer... A one year contract.

Oh Good, we will see more AAA ball dressed up as MLB.

He'll open the 2017 season at 5 and 25 and then the Braves mgmt team will cut him loose or send him down.
