The problem is that the heavy use of defensive shifts has created TOO much reliance on the home run, which has made the game very boring. They won't band it completely, but will limit the number of fielders during such a shift. This will encourage more emphasis on singles, doubles and triples and a renewed emphasis on base running.

I think you have it backwards. The shift is a CONSEQUENCE of over-reliance on the home run, not the CAUSE of it.
