No it's not. Guccione and Drake spent that long in AAA. Unless your name is Wendlestedt, ten years is not long at all.

Two out of hundreds that never make the cut is a pretty low precentage rate.

Your statement was that ten years in the minors is a long time...as if it were unusual. It is not. In fact, with a few exceptions it is the norm of those who move up in recent years, and looling at the line up in AAA, it will remain the norm.

Your attempt to change the comparison to those who make it and those who do not is meaningless. There are more who do not make it than do at every stage of MiLB umpiring, regarless of years in service.
