http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/ch ... 474.columnSelig is entering the closing chapters of his tenure. He made that point semi-officially during an owners meeting in Chicago in mid-November.
One of Selig's top lieutenants, Bob DuPuy or Rob Manfred, might be the best choice if the goal of owners is to continue in the same direction. Baltimore Orioles general manager Andy MacPhail, whose father and grandfather are in the Hall of Fame as executives, would be a popular choice among owners. The list is sure to grow as Selig moves closer to retiring.
