Major league baseball should be interested in the quality of umpiring in the minors. After all, their prospects are impacted by the umpiring. The salaries of all minor league umpires could be doubled for about the same amount one major league club would happily pay for a new middle infielder. They choose not to become involved, so apparently it is not a big issue to the big clubs that their prospects are umpired by non-professionals.
