"I enjoyed listening to him talk," Posey, the Giants' president of baseball operations, said. "He's usually good for four or five good one-liners through his rambles. He'll mix in some comedy. He's talented, right? He's one of those guys who, when he's talking, even if he thinks it's a ramble, you're kind of hanging onto the words that he's saying."
""I thought it was great," said two-time All-Star Logan Webb. "You can tell there's a lot of competitive spirit in him that just wants to win. That's pretty much what his message was: He wants us to all feel the way he feels. I think it's a great message."
Tony Vitello addressed the Giants' pitchers and catchers on the first day of major-league spring training, marking his first day as a major-league manager. He shared his background and plans to speak again before the full-squad workout. Teammates and executives responded positively, noting his humor, one-liners, and competitive spirit and his desire to instill a winning mentality. Vitello previously ran a monthlong spring training at the University of Tennessee. The scope in Arizona will be larger, and Vitello will be supported by bench coach Jayce Tingler and infield coach Ron Washington, both former MLB managers.
