Florida Baseball took one step forward and one step backward

We interrupt the search for a new Florida Football coach and the excitement of Gator Basketball being around the corner to drop some good news for Florida Baseball:

Tennessee Volunteers coach Tony Vitello is reaching a finalized deal to become the manager for the San Francisco Giants.

Given the recent history of Tennessee Baseball, this is great news for Kevin O'Sullivan and company.

But then, later on Wednesday, bad news arrived as word came out that O'Sullivan was taking a leave of absence from the program.
