The Madcap

12. Terrible idea.

Every year, MLB seems to think it wise to tinker with the rules. Before you know it, it will be just like the NFL...no continuity from year to year.

I really like the full-time DH. I don't want to see pitchers "hit," nor do I want to deprive the managers the ability to pitch whomever they wish. It's a 162-game schedule, after all. There has to be some sort of roster flexibiity, or you're going to see even more pitchers with blown-out elbows.

At some point, all the changes just become a joke.
