"Commish for a day" Challenge

If nothing else, I try to include you guys as much as I can in this silly little blog. I don't want to be the lone voice here all the time, so I try to concoct ways to get you guys involved. Sometimes it's for a good cause like we did with the Charity Challenge. Other times, it's via a good rambling rant emailed to me. So now it's time for another one. This came from the quick, almost scarily instantaneous response I got from FOTB --friend of the blog-- Ron Rollins about what he wants to see changed in baseball.

Here's the topic: You are commission of MLB for one day. You can make one major move. What would you pick and why?

Some suggestions:

• Eliminate the DH/Expand the DH to the NL
• Eliminate the Wild Card format
• Change the arbitration process
• Eliminate draft pick compensation for Type A/B free agents
• Increase the # of teams making the post-season
• Allow for the trading of draft picks
• Change the amateur draft (no slotting suggestions, include other countries, etc.)
• Eliminate the "All star game winner determines W.S. home field advantage" gimmick
• All playoff start times on weekdays are 7:30pm EST
• Salary cap/floor (remember, must have one with the other)
• Make mandatory all new stadiums must have retractible roofs; must be entirely team-funded
• Pick the next commissioner after Selig is gone
• You cannot: Eliminate any teams; Change the BBWAA rules

Email me your best ideas by Monday Tuesday and I'll run the best of 'em next week. Depending on how many I get, maybe one a day for as many worthwhile ones I get. {email: jnr98 (at) yahoo (dot) com}
