Latest On The Rockies’ Managerial Search

By charliewilmoth | October 8, 2016 at 8:54am CDT

The Rockies are considering Braves first base coach Eddie Perez for their vacant managerial position, Reyes Ureña of El Universal in Venezuelan tweets (link via MLB.com’s Thomas Harding). Perez recently interviewed for the Braves’ managerial job as well, although the team has acknowledged that it would be difficult to hire him, given the work interim manager Brian Snitker has done.

Previous Rockies manager Walt Weiss resigned this week, citing an unhealthy relationship with GM Jeff Bridich. Immediately after Weiss’ departure, Glenallen Hill, the Rockies’ manager at Triple-A Albuquerque, emerged as a possible candidate. As Harding notes, Bridich acknowledges that Hill is a potential candidate.

“I think he [Hill] would be somebody internally that we would consider, certainly,” says Bridich. “But then again, this is all very new information and new news. So there have been no formal plans put in place.”

The 48-year-old Perez played parts of 11 seasons in the big leagues, suiting up for the Braves, Indians and Brewers, notably serving as Greg Maddux’s personal catcher in Atlanta. Since retiring as a player, he’s worked as a bullpen coach as well as first base coach for the Braves, while also managing in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Hill, 51, played for the Blue Jays, Indians, Cubs, Giants, Mariners, Yankees and Angels over the course of a 13-year big-league career. He began coaching in the Rockies system in 2003 and has served as the team’s first base coach. He has managed the Rockies’ Triple-A team (first in Colorado Springs, then in Albuquerque) for the past four seasons.

    I’m not really sure where this organization thinks it’s going most of the time.

      Agree, how long can you be B/ave and still keep you job, do they even want to compete for the Div? If so, clean up that front office

    Please give Mike Matheney of the Cardinals a shot at the job. A change in scenery, plus his philosophy on obtains players who hit the long ball in any stadium would be a perfect fit. Currently he is hampered by being obligated to playing certain individuals and having to play aging bunch of personal friends that he played with. Bad situation for him. He would do a great job out of his current scenario!!!!!!

      Unless he quits or is fired, there’s no way the Rockies can even speak to him.

      Hes horrible, cant manage pitchers at all and he wants to play his buddies and not play the young talent! He lived off the talent for the first 4 years but when they got in the playoffs he cost the team with horrible pitching decisions every year! This year he made 143 different lineups record by the way! He either doesn’t make a move or over manages! Most Cards fans want him gone, wish some team would take him!

    I want Glenallen Hill chosen just so we could relive his nightmare spider incident that landed him on the DL!

    Always wanted Eddie to manage the Braves, but they are right to not hire him considering Snit. It would be a great opportunity for Perez with the Rockies!

      Great hearing Perez is being considered for other posts. Honestly, Braves have an embarrassment of riches considering the amount of internal candidates they have capable to running the team (Perez, Bo Porter, Terry Pendleton, Snitker). Makes even more of a head-scratcher why they waited so long to pull the trigger on Fredi, but everything in due time.

    Bud Black will end up in Atlanta. Wash will take over in Oakland when they clean house. I think Glenallen Hill would be great in Colorado. The hit sign will be on 24×7. Finally a manager who will just let his guys swing for the fences.

      2014 called and wants its knee-jerk-Rockies-opinion back. They’re now one of the most talented young teams in the game.
