GIANTS FINALIZING DEAL TO MAKE TENNESSEE'S TONY VITELLO NEXT MANAGER

Buster Posey was as steady as it got during his years in the big leagues, but as the Giants president of baseball operations, he has thus far been wildly unpredictable. In his first year on the job, Posey handed out the biggest contract in franchise history, made one of the most shocking trades in recent MLB history, and fired a manager he had very publicly committed to just a few months earlier. Even his first move -- taking over at the same time as the organization got rid of Farhan Zaidi -- was a surprise.

But Posey's latest decision might be his biggest swing yet. Posey has chosen University of Tennessee coach Tony Vitello as his manager, putting the franchise in the hands of a man who has been remarkably successful at the collegiate level but has no big league experience. San Francisco is finalizing a deal to make Vitello the team's next manager.
