The Braves chose Snitker over Bud Black and Ron Washington. Washington was named the new 3rd base coach, replacing Bo Porter, who will serve as a special assistant to GM John Coppolella. Chuck Hernandez is the new pitching coach, replacing Roger McDowell. Snitker quickly became a player and fan favorite after being named interim manager when Fredi Gonzalez was fired. He was instrumental in the Braves late season resurgence, which saw them win 20 of the last 30 games. (David O'Brien on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Awesome news for the Braves, who have rebuilt quickly and are primed for massive improvement in 2017.
