The improvement should be made within the system itself, meaning MLB should take over the Training of umpires and get the "best of the best".
Presently you make "chicken feed" in the minors. You can make more money if you are manager of Wal-Mart. If MLB took over the training of umpires perhaps salaries would increase. I am NOT saying a minor league umpire should make what the PRO umpire makes BUT they should be able to make a decent living. This would attract more umpires and allow MLB to get the "best of the best"
I would try that approach FIRST. If that does not improve the quality of umpiring, then by all means give your method "a shot"
Many times calls are missed because the umpires are NOT in the proper position.
As you say NO SYSTEM is perfect but IMO, Expanded Replay in baseball could be a joke.
