With Adam Silver dropping the Hammer on Sterling to rousing rave reviews from almost the whole League he runs, it got me to wondering, who SHOULD or who WILL replace Bud Seling?
I'm not a Bud fan at all, but his replacement does come into a pretty sweet set-up. While there is no clear cut favorite, it's expecting to be an "inside" Baseball veteran, CEO-type. I don't know enough about Rob Manfred, the #2 guy who's considered the (slight) favorite. Most experts doubt it'll be an outsider/broadcaster-type, like Costas or George Will.
As far as baseball veterans go, I'd say Sandy Alderson would be fine in the job.
And for an outsider-VERY-long-shot picks, how about Keith Olbermann? Both sides would hate him within 6 months, but his devotion to the game and up-front style might be just what the sport needs after years of Bud's "old buddy" style...
Anybody else got an Opinion?
