The news that Brian Snitker was retiring as the Atlanta Braves manager wasn't a complete surprise, but it instantly created some real urgency for the team to act quickly and replace him with a steady and capable hand. There is no shortage of obvious candidates that are going to be in play for the Braves, but Atlanta could potentially go off the beaten path a bit with their managerial choice.
Walt Weiss is the frontrunner amongst the internal options that also includes Fredi Gonzalez. It is safe to say that if Atlanta goes with Gonzalez, it would not be a popular choice.
