My list is ever-changing (umps get graded on their zone and adjust just as players do - i pay attention and take a lot of notes; for example, Ted Barrett used to be under guy), but for the moment, my top guys are (no particular order):

OVERS: Diaz, Morales, Meals, West, Ted Barrett
UNDERS: Eddings, Danley, Iassogna, Kulpa, Hoye

One note: I never play over or under blindly based upon ump. Ump factors are an overlay in my model. Put another way, if other factors don't agree (e.g., park, weather, SPs, bullpen form and fatigue, offense form including adjustment for RHP/LHP facing, trends), then that overlay likely won't be enough for me to play it. i do not believe in blindly playing anything; umps are just another factor, albeit a potentially strong one when accompanying factors agree.
