I don't believe it is a very smart business practice to treat employees like that considering how much of a commitment they are asking for. Of course the umpires going into pro baseball know how small their chances are of making it to The Show™ but I think better treatment of the minor league umpires would net a better "product" in the long run. This is not to say that the current group of minor league umpires is bad, I am not knowledgable enough to speak in that capacity. I am simply speaking from the perspective of a general business strategist.
