Of those choices Wren and Krivsky are probably my two fav. picks among the bunch, Wren has turned down potential GM positions in the past (w/Pitt. IIRC).

If I somehow get the job, I vow to trade Dunn, Lopez, Freel, Griffey, and $20 million to the Cubs for Neifi, Brownlie, Rusch, and Koronka.

And $20 million?

 

Is that a bit too greedy?
