Theo should use his veto power when Wilken tries to show up for work.

I'm not Wilken's biggest fan either, but I think his record is starting to look a little better with hindsight.  Samardzija, Cashner, Jackson, and Russell are looking like pretty good players, and Steve Clevenger is starting to look like a guy who could carve out a pretty respectable major league career.  You could throw Darwin Barney in there as well if you want.  If Samardzija is for real, having that pick vindicated makes Wilken's record look quite a bit better.

If Wilken has a big say in this year's draft, hopefully at the very least McLeod keeps him from making bat**** crazy Hayden Simpson type picks or can be more persuasive on guys like Matt Weiters when Wilken wants to take a pass on a player like that.
