Don't get me started about ghost runners and wild card games...

That point of having the four best batters occurred to me, too. It could be like the NFL, best offense on the field, best defense. Heck, throw free substitution in and you can have a specialist pitcher who is brought in JUST for lefties. And pinch-runners to replace the slow slugger after he hits a single. You would see more great plays. More hits, more amazing catches and double plays, and worse baseball.

That sounds like Calvin Ball.
