That's my favorite crew for the opening round.

I know it's early, but....if I had to pick a WS crew based on the DS umpires, they would come from this group:

McClelland (cc), Marquez, Everitt, Rapuano, Winters, Barrett, Bell, Davis

McClelland (cc), Winters, Bell, Bill Welke, Rapuano, Davis

you guys love MLB umps and yet you cant even figure out the criteria for working a world series?

first round guys ONLY can work the world series, not guys that arent even on staff; Bob Davidson. Or guys that work the LCS; Hunter.

or even Eddings since he isnt working the first round at all....

that is all, now please go back to your made up guesses about who is going to work what and when

Hey, it was a joke, I say a joke, son. Sorry, but I thought it was really obvious, but I guess I need to add a bunch of so folks like you can see the humor. Please see the doctor to have that stick removed.

Anybody else surprised by the lack of Jeff Nelson?

No, he has received a lot of postseason assignments in the last few years.

Then it's a sad thing when a good umpire gets shut out because of "too many assignments".

While we are talking MLB umpires, who will the new crew chiefs be next year? Brinkman has to be filled, I assume Montague is done, but there is no official word, Froemming? Marsh? In order these would be my top 4. Rapuano,Cousins,Joyce,Meriweather.

Jeff's one of the best in the game, and considered one of the game's top rules guys, too. I am a bit surprised that he didn't get a thing.
