That's a solid list of choices. To me Karros is the safest choice. But I'm voting for Glanville because of his deeper Cubs roots and love for the city.  He's certainly smart/savvy enough for the job.  The only question is how he'd come across for nine innings on a daily basis.

Al Leiter.

I am less interested in "Cub ties" than getting a solid analyst.

Leiter is the best analyst around right now.

JBN would be awesome, albeit not great for ratings.

I know I'd do a hell of a job.

I was limited to 5 options. I felt these were the best 5. I left off Grace due to his legal issues, and Sut because I have seen his interest described as "lukewarm at best".

I think I'm a Karros guy...

Karros is a favorite of mine,so I hope he gets the job. Brenly was ok,but he wore me out more often as not when his comments strayed away from game action. His marriage advice schtick was mind-numbingly  boring and never once funny.

You'd have to think that broadcasting as many games as they do, it would be pretty hard to come up with original material all the time.

Based on that Suntimes article, it sounds like Plesac is not really an option, and that Sutcliffe may have been a better poll option...

I’d be happy with any of them.  To help decide my favorite, I’m working on a list of things I’d like to know about each of them.  Here’s what I have so far:

Will you promise to

1.  Always say three RBIs instead of three RBI

Why? it's three Runs Batted In, not three Run Batted Ins.
