Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Confirmed)

[SKV84]

Vitello starting to get on my nerves a little now. Stop stringing everyone along...just make your mind up. It really isn't fair to his players and also the Giants organization to keep everyone one in wait and see mode.

Anybody monitoring Coach E.?

Told the team he has no big decisions to make on anything and life is sweet. Watching Tulsa King after practice.

This is kinda crazy to me. Not only that he doesn't know. But that he's telling the team that.

 

[UTK]

He would be leaving a team and city that he loves to coach at the highest level of his profession. But, he would also almost certainly be taking an effective pay cut, due to California taxes and COL. Plus, there's a very realistic chance that he isn't successful in SF and is out of a job in 2-3 years.

I would actually be MORE surprised if a man like Tony made a quick decision. It's a ton to consider.

Just depends on how bad he wants a chance in the MLB. Every kid that grows up loving baseball dreams of playing in the MLB. He didn’t make it as a player and probably thought it wasn’t in the cards. Now he has a chance as a manager, it’s definitely not a money decision in any way.

If this isnt true, it should be!

Idk man if your wife is considering leaving you, saying “just make a damn decision already” is probably not the move

This is where I’m at. You’ve had since Saturday, but probably even longer, to think on it. By dragging everyone along, it’s only going to make it hurt worse if he does leave. And at some point you’d think they’d say “look, yes or no because we gotta move on.”

 

[Legion of Doom]

For the love of Pete, can we change the title on this thread? Every time it's bumped my BP spikes 30 points and my heart goes nuts.

Yeah it is worded really bad. No decision made and it sounds like it has.

The man has earned the right to take as long as he needs to decide.

 

[Vtonerider]

TV's making career choices is similar to his announcing his weekend pitching rotation.

Agreed. As long as the answer is one we will like.

Meh. At some point you gotta make the call or people are going to make you make it.

 

[VolGirl81]

I get this is a tough decision, but if you still aren’t sure moving jobs is right for you, maybe it’s a sign to just stay put.

Can’t say this loud enough!

Absolutely.

Y'all keep bumping. Finally take this old codger out of his misery.

 

[Danny Dollars]

S**t or get off the pot Tony

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Got any more behind the scenes info @Stoerner Fumbles?

 

[Garren04]

I mean he’s gotta make a decision tonight right? We’re at 72 hours. The Giants have to have some sort of timeline. And I don’t have any problem with him taking his time. Reminds me of Barnes and UCLA.

Give me a break

Enough of this panty waving poker..

Either ya in or out. What is it gonna be.

Which part of this metaphor represents him staying at UT? Whatever it is, do that one, Tony.

 

[Baseball25]

Is White meeting with Tony tonight?

 

[MAD]

I find it ironic that some of the most impatient and vocal posters in this thread have never once contributed to the BaseVol forum in the past.

Only way I would take the Giants job is with a guarantee the owners will open the checkbook and will go out and spend massive money like the Dodgers and Padres and get some talent otherwise TV would already be behind the 8-ball. Giants have no talent and no way they compete with the Dodgers and Padres in their division for next several years. Look at their roster, who is their star player? Verlander is all I see and he's 42 years old and past his prime and probably retiring.

My Atlanta Braves has more talent but too many injuries this year and my biggest pet peeve with Braves is they spend no money on free agents either to compete with the Dodgers, Padres, Yankees, Red Sox of the world. And if we were talking about TV being the new Braves manager right now, I would be praying he isn't hired with no MLB coaching experience at all.
