"My biggest thing is for everybody to be on the same page,"
"Pulling on the same rope is a clich e9 for a reason. We talked about how long the season is, so it's important to have a group of guys that are willing to be there through thick and thin. It literally is a marriage for the course of the season."
"For me, it doesn't have to be the brightest, the best, the most experienced or the best r e9sum e9. It needs to be the guy that's going to have your back."
Tony Vitello will transition from a successful college coaching career at Tennessee to become the San Francisco Giants' manager despite lacking prior professional experience. Vitello has long ties to Giants history and witnessed franchise moments such as Will Clark's benches-clearing incident and Madison Bumgarner's Game 7 relief in 2014. Buster Posey will oversee player recruitment as president of baseball operations while Vitello assembles a coaching staff to cover blind spots. Vitello prioritizes cohesion, reliability and loyalty over pedigree when selecting coaches for the long major-league season.
