Why are the Phillies ownership taking so long to make a decision on Kapler?

It has been ten days since the Phillies have ended their season. Fans have been patiently waiting to hear the fate of Andy MacPhail, Matt Klentak and Gabe Kapler while John Middleton mulls his options. Recent reports coming out of South Philadelphia suggests that the Phillies Owner is traveling around the country and interviewing players.

This is interesting, and if true, puts into question Middleton as a decision making owner. There is speculation as to why this is taking so long? Is Middleton weighing all his options? There are theories that Middleton is keeping Kapler or possibly moving him to a different position within the organization.
