Larson, Loveless and Schauffert were around for quite a while so I am not as surprised to see them go. Volpi being gone after 1 year is pretty surprising.Russnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-4031615018120750502013-01-25T18:20:06.291-08:002013-01-25T18:20:06.291-08:00The PCL umpires for 2013 are up on their website a...The PCL umpires for 2013 are up on their website and none of the PCL umpires who worked MLB games last year have been dropped including Campos, Muchlinski and Reyburn.

Barrett and Culbreth are the first 2 Umpires hired during the 1999 mass resignation to become a Crew Chief. Congrats to the new CC's and hires and good luck to the three retiring umpires. Can't wait for Baseball to come back. Spring Training is only in about 5-6 weeks.Russnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-86548940849356972622013-01-24T17:52:32.418-08:002013-01-24T17:52:32.418-08:00I like the hiring of Alan Porter and Manny Gonzale...I like the hiring of Alan Porter and Manny Gonzalez. Thought they both did a nice job during the times when I saw them work in recent seasons. Haven't seen much of Vic Carapazza, so I don't really have an opinion on him.<br /><br />Sorry to see three solid veterans like Cousins, Tschida, and Rapuano gone. But they were replaced with three excellent choices for crew chief. Although, I'm sort of surprised to see Culbreth get the nod over Wally Bell or Angel Hernandez, who they've seemingly been grooming for crew chief positions in recent years.DanNJ316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-73149392261696463792013-01-24T17:29:02.404-08:002013-01-24T17:29:02.404-08:00Three solid promotions to CC.
