Offseason!

[jusdontno]

Potential bad news for Braves' fans. The Yankees have received permission from Atlanta to talk to Mazzone to become their next pitching coach. He's been with Cox in Atlanta since June of 90.

 

If he decides to leave, big blow for the Braves.

 

 

I don't think he would leave Cox for the same position with the Yankees.

Not only Mazzone, but the hitting coach, Terry Pendleton, has been interviewed by the Devil Rays for a manager position. He is also due to interview with the LA Dodgers this week. Looks like Cox could possibly be left out in the cold....

Pendleton could go and maybe Leo, it's just my gut feeling (no facts) that Leo and Bobby will stay together, unless Leo was offered a manager's position or George "makes him an offer he can't refuse".

I dont see Mazzone leaving Atlanta for the same job somewhere else? Pendleton seems to have the intangibles to be a successful manager and could possibly end up in LA or TB!

 

Could it be that the Yanks are talking to Mazzone about possibly being there manager?

Offseason? Baseball is still being played boys! We'll worry about the offseason in a few weeks!

 

Oh yeah, I guess the Braves offseason has started!

 

Guess now your ready to talk huh?

[gotmilk?]

Mazzone is an Oriole!

Leo to The Orioles? I thought he was talking to the Yankees. Why is he leaving Atlanta? This surprises me, anyone know the scoop?

The article says he is life long friends with Perlozzo, the Orioles new manager!

Figured there had to be something to pull him away from Braves.

Yea, I just couldnt see Mazzone walking away from the Braves after being a pitching coach for 15 with them and being in the organization since 1979! I am sure he will be successful!

Now who's gonna be the pitching coach for the Braves next year? Also how does everyone think Joe Girardi will do in Florida? I think he will be out in 1 or 2 years.....

Girardi was a surprise, he may do well, just doesn't seem he yet has the resume for a major league manager's position. May have the talent and skill, just not the resume.
