It's Vitello
The Giants have yet to make the official announcement but there’s a picture of Coach V on the website and an article about the “near deal” in place.
Also, MLBTR has a confirmation from Tennessee AD Danny White that Vitello is leaving.
Amateur teams are not run by managers but rather by (head) coaches. Only professional teams have managers. Tony Vitello’s entire baseball experience, from player to head coach, has taken place in the amateur realm. This is very unusual in MLB circles. Most managers come with professional experience of some kind.
It seems that Buster is a bust-a-move kinda guy. He doesn’t sit back and make safe choices. He goes “all-in” on his vision. He shimmies when everyone else is still shakin’.
I think there are a few things happening. One, Buster believes players come to the big leagues not fully ready to play. They need more coaching, more development. Funny, that was Gabe Kapler’s schtick! It didn’t go over well. Vitello will need a different approach. Two, Buster thinks the team isn’t sufficiently on top of the “little things” that come up in every game. Fundamentals and situational awareness, stuff like that. He wants a hyper-attentive captain at the helm.
Finally, the college game is increasingly professionalized. It’s entirely invaded by corporate interests. Athletic budgets are in absurd territories. The whole NIL thing along with the transfer “portal” and all that crap has fundamentally changed the game. I remember when the College World Series was strictly for baseball nerds. I suspect there will be more movement between MLB and the NCAA going forward.
Congratulations to Tony Vitello for nailing the job. Welcome to the Giants! And welcome to BusterTime™, Giants fans. Get used to the big and the bold from our kick-ass PoBO.
