Although I think that is a really neat post with all the information. I do believe this is going to start one ugly thread of people bashing about scabs (IMHO). So maybe everyone can keep that to a limit. I would really appreciate it there are enough posts about that subject.

Why?
So...

It has been said often as a defense of those Scabs who chose to cross, "every man has to make his own decision." That is fine. I agree. But why would you choose to encourage others to scab?

UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU GO TO WORK MINOR LEAGUE GAMES YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING NOBLE, YOU ARE SIMPLY DOING SOMETHING SELFISH- BEING A SCAB! No matter how "good" you think you do, or how bad MiLB says they need you, you will not have a job in professional baseball when the union guys come back to work! (and for those of you who think the union will be busted-wrong- but even if it was the scabs will not "earn" any spots for next year, MiLB and PBUC will re-hire qualified umpires and canidates from the schools)

Guys let's just let this post be as it is. It is information for people who want to work MiLB that is it. No other SCAB comments are neccesary we understand.

No kidding. I would say 95% of those working MiLB games have absolutely ZERO aspirations of working full time. Why would they want to go from making 65,000/yr to making peanuts? Most of 'em can't wait till the regular guys come back anyway - it's the regular guys' place to be there. They are the most qualified to work them.

Never say never!
Hey, don't be so sure about replacements or "scabs" not getting a shot at pro ball. A realistic possibility exists that local umpire associations (probably collegiate but not necesarily) may take over short season A ball and possibly all of single A level PORFESSIONAL baseball after this all hashes out. Stay tuned......

I think it says a lot about your abilities if you have to contact the leagues to get games. My goodness, getting high school games is harder.

Whoever started this post should be ashamed of yourself. You are worse than a SCAB. What umpire school did you attend, I am sure they didn't get selected for PBUC.

Anyone considering using this list, remember that you will never take their jobs. Where I come from, you do not go looking for the next level. If you are good enough to be there they would find you.

people come here to spew whatever they possibly can, and they are not being stopped.
