I guess we each read into posts what we want. I do not see "truly a denigration..."

Fact is most mid and upper level umpires began at LL level.

Where would you send an umpire who may have moved up to soon and needs more training? To a higher level? No, you re-assign him to a level at which he can more easily handle the games and work on improving.

Most LL umpires I have been associated with are not so defensive as to read negative comments into every reference of LL.
