Braves' hiring of Walt Weiss is their latest (and a familiar) mistake

It took the Atlanta Braves a long time to announce Walt Weiss as the club's new manager. Appearing on MLB Network Radio’s Loud Outs, Weiss said he’d already accepted that he wouldn’t get the job when he got the phone call the day before the news conference. It doesn't matter if he was plan B or C, he's the manager.

Walt Weiss’ voice may be louder, but it certainly isn't new

We’ve heard that Weiss will bring a new voice to the club, but he was Brian Snitker’s bench coach for seven years, and you don’t remain someone’s right-hand man if your opinion isn’t heard and respected by the skipper and the players.
