Change takes time and I agree with Glavine and others that it should be in ALL ball parks and not just a select few.
But if MLB wants true change, then embark on the lower levels and push it up.

With players moving in and out, major league and minor league are too intertwined.
Effectiveness under one standard does not mean effectiveness under another if working under different standards. The money comes from being effective at the highlest level---MLB.
Idealistically they could hope that amateur ball could implement change that could eventually work its way to professional ball, but amateurs like to imitate pros---so that will NEVER happen. Idealism seldom supports realism.
If they make the change it must be done at the
professional level,
and you can't separate MLB from minor league.
If MLB does it, minor league will be quick to follow.
The goal of all in minor league is to obtain MLB status.
Just my opinion,
