With the news coming out that the SF Giants are looking to hire Tony Vitello for their managerial opening, it seems that the University of Tennessee head coach was the second choice of president of baseball operations Buster Posey.
By all accounts, Nick Hundley was the front runner and favorite for the job prior to Vitello emerging as the candidate the Giants were looking to hire. Apparently, Hundley backed out of the running for the job due to family reasons since he has young children.
