ugadawg Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 OK lets play assumption time here. Say it is Fredi who is his staff. Who stays and who goes. Did he dislike anyone while he was here. Will TP quit on his own if he doesn't get the jobPC - I think McDowell will stay and should, but it would not surprise me if Leo was back.HC - TP is gone ???as to his replacement.Hubbard, Perez,all backnew 3rd base coach.just my guesses no facts to back it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mookie3127 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 MLB Trade Rumors is reporting it now.Fredi Gonzalez To Manage BravesBy Luke Adams [October 12, 2010 at 6:59pm CST]The Braves will hold a farewell press conference Wednesday for Bobby Cox, and it doesn't appear they'll waste any time naming his replacement. Atlanta has an agreement in place with Fredi Gonzalez to become the team's new manager, according to Ken Rodriguez of FOX 5 Sports. A press conference announcing the hiring of Gonzalez could happen as early as Thursday, tweets David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.Gonzalez, a former third base coach for the Braves, managed the Marlins from 2007 until earlier this season. He led the club to a 276-279 record during his time in Florida, and since his firing has been widely considered the logical successor for Cox in Atlanta. Cox publicly criticized Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria following Gonzalez's dismissal, saying that Florida "lost a good one" in Gonzalez.As O'Brien tweets, Major League Baseball generally frowns upon managerial announcements during the playoffs, but the Braves could safely make the hiring official between the Division Series and Championship Series.

Threepac Daddy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 had a friend call my that his mom works with hank aaron and that he was contacted by the braves for something. he tries to tell me that it was the manager position, i called him a ****** for thinking it. more than likely its for retiring bobby's number or something like that. about fredi getting the job, im on the fence about it. he didnt have any really good players with the marlins and he will inhert a good team that poise to make another post season run next its gonna be a very interesting offseason and year next year. ps fredi fire tp and go get an hitting coach or hire chipper as the coach.

Falconsfan567 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have mixed emotions about this. I liked the way he got on Hanley's *** for not going all out early this year.But he has made as many stupid pitching changes as Bobby as over the last few years.But then again he did post 86 and 87 win seasons with the Marlins in 2008 and 2009.

The Marlins made some helpful roster moves after Fredi left, but nobody could have done much with the early season situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Maguire Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Here's how pitching changes work against a manager. You don't take a guy out and he gives up runs, then the manager made a dumb move. You take the guy out and the guy that comes in gives up runs, then the manager made a dumb move. SAME SCENARIO. No one knows what would have happened the other way around, yet people love to blame the manager in that instance when he relies 100% on the execution of his players. Yet people rarely remember when the manager gets it right on a change/no change. Thus, it's a no win. The crowd loved that Bobby gave Lowe a chance. Afterward he was criticized for it. Fans often make the decision after the outcome, but when you manage, you don't have hindsight to base your decision off of.If you have a bad bullpen, your changes are going to look worse on you. A manager also has to balance overworking the starting pitching and the bullpen over the course of the season. Fans tend to look at it as a one game all or nothing decision. Good managers will have the entire season in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
