[quote=GarthB] As Tee said, in part, this has been the cause of several MiLB umpires self releasing. Why? If one has been in, let's say, AA for four or five years and finds himself ranked in the bottom half at mid-season, he may find it easier to leave now and begin the process of getting on with life rather than finish out the year and being released over the winter.

Or not being released. Either way, youthful exuberance wears off when you know you have hit the ceilng. The majority will and the ones who forego college or post graduate might find themselves late in life to choose an educational path.

Which is the point of my OP. Let them know the slim chances, the very, very slim chances of MLB.
