This former GM and lifelong baseball man loves the Braves’ hire of Walt Weiss as Manager and thinks the “Braves Way” of maintaining a high standard of performance is alive and well. Find out why Steve Phillips is so positive about this promotion and what he thinks fans should look for in the new season.
I wasn’t completely surprised by it. I think he certainly was a very strong internal candidate, former managerial experience, been around the team for a long time, played for Bobby Cox. I think that when you hire a manager, you go through that process, you need to be able to tell the story about why he’s your pick. And I think Walt provides an easy story.
