It appears that Mr. Hirschbeck will be out for the part or the entire 2012 season and maybe a career ending injury. Wish him a speedy recovery.
Who will take his place ? His long time crew member Wally Bell?

This is disappointing news. John's been a great umpire for a long time and I hope he can resume his career. If not, Wally Bell would seem to be the logical choice to replace John as crew chief.

I believe Jim Joyce will be taking over his crew.

I would have thought the league was looking at Ted Barrett and Jeff Nelson as possible next Crew Chiefs based upon recent assignments and injuries. jim joyce is well deserving, but does he want to be a crew chief?
Years ago, Dutch Rennert made it known he did not want the extra burden and responsibilities. Good Luck to whomever receives the assignment.

Jim Joyce is deserving of the assignment
Would also not be surprised to see Wally Bell or Larry Vanover before Barrett or Nelson. The other one that would not surprise me is Mike Everitt

Hirschbeck has had several back or neck related issues over the recent years. I hope he can recover.

Wow, I didn't realize that is why Mark Hirschbeck was forced into retirement

Is it possible since there has been no official announcement on crews, MLB is looking at several people as Crew Chief for John Hirschbeck's crew?

99% sure that Joyce is replacing Hirschbeck this season
