Winters career might well be over.

I was simply expressing an opinion based upon the fact that Winters is suspended. At this point all we know is that Winters is done for the season and playoffs.
How can you call this a routine suspension when an umpire is suspended for not only the remainder of the season but playoffs as well.
A "routine suspension" is a game or 2 not the rest of the season and playoffs.
Winters suspension is more than simply routine which prompted my comment. Also, let's get real here. Competition for MLB umpires jobs is very competetive so what are the odds on Winters getting a crew chief position and also working next years playoffs?
