When all is done an owner might think: "If I am 'happy' with the end result I see each day in MLB games 'why' would I want to change anything?"

TEE the aforementioned is right on but are the owners / players "happy" with the current corps of ML umpires?
Every year you will have the normal whining and crying but this past year it seems as thought both owners / players were not happy with the umpires in general.
They complained that this "new crop" of umpires looks for ways to toss people etc. In other words more confrontational then their predecessors of years ago.
Therefore if the owners / players union is unhappy with the current umpiring system perhaps some change will take place. Doubt it but you never know.
