I guess there is going to be talks about adding this in the Majors, which I think would stink at that level. It is a good rule at lower minor league levels to help develope players. Any thoughts on this?

If the new MLB is looking for ways to speed up games you can start by not allowing managers to look at 30 different replays before deciding if he even wants to challange a play. Cut down on warmup pitches for a relief pitchers entering a game, or even eliminate the 3 minute waddle the manager does to go out to the field to get the ball from the pitcher. Rob Manfred is making me miss Bug Selig. Ugh.
