What's the union going to do about it ?
They can either be part of the re-build, or not. MiLB won't care. They will end up with a system, no matter what.
I talked to a striking MiLB guy on Monday night. He is pretty sure they will all be fired in the next 6 weeks. MiLB will finish the season with scabs, and have a new system in place by next season.
If you don't think MiLB has been prepared for this, your not using your noodle.

Just because the MiLB is prepared, does not mean this is the best decision. If they fire everyone, who is going to replace trained umpires? There was a game where 3 fights in one game and no one was ejected. They are going to have to train umpires to what pro ball is about. I hope their plan is a good one.
