It's all good to agree that they are underpaid, or treated poorly. They probably are.
But, as much as I hate landing on Windy's side of any argument, the point that he's made about it being relatively easy for Baseball to replace these guys at THEIR wages is accurate. While many or most of the guys posting here, along with a lot of "pro-union" types out there, will refuse to cross over, there will be PLENTY of guys that will. There may even be a drop in quality, but I suspect that the almighty dollar will rule the decisions of MiLB on this one.
Now... if we really want the umpires to win this greivance, what we need is for a bunch of us to cross the line, and then TRULY suck at our jobs. That might cause them to think twice. Anyone know what PWL, Thomas White, and dumbdrumb are doing this spring?
But that ain't gonna happen.
