Jim Joyce Named Best Umpire, CB Bucknor Worst in ESPN The Magazine "Baseball Confidential" Players Poll
CB Bucknor, who has been on the job for 15 years, was voted the worst umpire, appearing on 37% of the surveys, edging Joe West, at 35%. When asked who had the “quickest hook” throwing players and managers out of games, West was the choice, named by 35% of the players. Rob Drake was second with 12%.
Speaking of Bucknor, one AL player characterized him as, "A terrible umpire. And he’s not very nice out there when he’s making bad calls, either."
Who are the Three Worst Umpires in Baseball?
Overall:
1. CB Bucknor (37%)
2. Joe West (35%)
3. Angel Hernandez (22%)
AL players:
1. CB Bucknor (42%)
2. Joe West (40%)
3. Angel Hernandez (22%)
NL players
1. CB Bucknor (32%)
2. Joe West (30%)
3. Angel Hernandez (22%)

Is he another 'superstar' prospect?
There seems to be quite a few of those guys being called up this year.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Yeah, he was ranked 15th coming into 2010 by Baseball America. He tore up Double-A and Triple-A in just 93 games between those two levels.

I lied, though. He’s only 2-for-3 and not 3-for-4.
