Just curious...do you have a source for the above comment or is this just something your "heard?"
The reason I ask is that in the last couple of player and coaches polls, Hernandez has ranked near the bottom. I don't ask out of the intent to start a Hernandez bashing thread, I'm just interested in comparing the data. With the players and coaches ranking him so low, it would be interesting to see who rated him so highly, and why.
As for "MLB assigning the best officials for the post season", over half of all umpires get post season assignments. By any calculation, that means dipping down into the shallow end of the pool.
