Hickox, Hallion, and Davidson will all be working in the big leagues this year, probably somewhere around 100+ games, however they won't actually be on a set crew. They will work similar to the AAA guys like Guccione, Fichter, Barksdale, etc. who are always up. This has obviously not made some AAA guys very happy as their chance at getting a shot has just been diminished by these three guys taking their place. I do not believe that 9 umpires have resigned as of yet.
