It's important to remember that umpires get released from MiLB every year. Often times, especially at AA and AAA, it's hard to figure out why. I was talking with an umpire in my area this year who got released in 2004 after working many MLB games and the number of those games had increased annually. He still has no idea why he was released and he said that he could never get a straight answer out of any of his evaluators. Bottom line is that MiLB umpires serve with short term contracts and the potential is always there for a release.
