i'm interested in how vitello works out in san fran. i don't know details but they should be a lot better than they are. they went all in on analytics with kapler and had that one great year. i don't hate vitello but i do hate what he allowed from his players/team. the thing about that is that the MLB is trending in that showboat/disrespect direction already. not gonna pull for or against him but i am interested in how this turns out.

of course from vitello's viewpoint it really shoulda been an easy decision. AD, supposedly, playing games with NIL money...so try your hand in the bigs, knowing the second it doesn't work out you will have a top tier college job waiting as soon as you want back in.
