With four of his former players already in the Giants’ system, the front office believes his talent development skills are exactly what they need to turn things around. President Buster Posey is committed to giving him time, trusting that if this rebuild doesn’t work out, Vitello’s coaching pedigree will open doors elsewhere — but for now, he’s got the green light to make his mark.
