It's easier to make it to the "show" as a player than it is as an umpire. If a player consistently sucks he's gone". If an umpire is consistently at the bottom of the ratings (as far as I know we have no idea who's at the bottom of the ratings but someone has to be last) he'll probably be back. The only time an opening appears is when a guy retires or is injured. Has anyone been dumped because he was consistently bad over the course of a season or seasons? Not talking about the fill ins.
