Who will replace Bud?

Believe it or not, Bud Selig will eventually step down as Commissioner of Major League Baseball. He says he'll retire when his current contract expires in 2009. True or not (we've heard this before), sooner or later he'll be a former Commish. Who will succeed him? ESPN's Jerry Crasnick has a list of possibilities. None of them are particularly compelling to me - given how much water Bob duPuy was willing to carry for the owners during the 2002 CBA negotiations, I'd have to rank him as my least favorite, but beyond that I can't say I care much - but I suppose if baseball can survive Selig, it can survive anything.

Bud's departure will not hurt my feelings. I, for one, am still chapped about the stadium roof flap during the 2005 World Series.
