Notice the 2nd base umpire. One of the first in the AL never to use the balloon in the Big Leagues.

Mike Winters and Ed Rapuano got the two new CC positions from the Reilly and Crawford retirements.

Brian Knight and Scott Barry have been promoted to full time. There's still one spot available that will be filled before the start of the season.

[Umpire in Chief]

Good to hear! If you've read my posts I love Rapuano since meeting him last year, a funny guy, a real character, but also very passionate about umpiring and while he'll bust your balls he'll also bend over backwards to help you.
