Assuming Omar Minaya is relieved of his duties, or "re-assigned", there will be a new Mets General Manager. Here is a list of replacement candidates, some reasonable, some outlandish. Suggest others and I'll add them. Hopefully it can serve as a reference point for any GM discussion. A link (usually Wikipedia) with more information about each candidate is provided as well. (This post is inspired by letsgocyclone's comment on Sam's earlier post.)
