Theo Replacement

I started a new job this week working at an elementary school and I was too drained to update -- I'll try not to be such a wimp in the future. So much for my "Theo isn't leaving" theory. But instead of rehashing the "Who's at fault?" stuff, I'm going to list my top five candidates (in reverse order) to replace Epstein. 5. Terry Francona. Hey, if Larry Lucchino is calling the shots anyways, then why not let Terry have a little say in who is on the roster. Also, if they have to can the manager then the GM will have to go too! 4. Jim Duquette. At least he's not cousin Dan. (In all seriousness, a potential candidate). 3. Scott Pioli. If only Belichick and the Pats would let him leave. 2. Ben Affleck. Now he could at least earn those primo box seats he always scores when he comes to Fenway. 1. Dan Shaughnessy. Willing to be Lucchino's puppy. "Write this Danny, good boy!"
