I am talking about a BIG play ala a HR which IMO is where MLB should FIRST address the replay issue. It's similar to a TD pass in football which is a BIG play.
As far as the "other" type plays that area would be phased in. Perhaps a challenge type system which the NFL has or something along those lines. The BIG question to address would be what type of penalty would you give the manager if his challenge is unsuccessful.

None. Just limit the challenges.

Replay doesn't seem to affect the integrity of the Football officials so why should it effect major league baseball umpires.
Bottom Line: The ONLY area that baseball will probably adopt Replay is on Fair / Foul on a HR or whether or not the ball is truly a HR or book rule double. Also, if a FAN interfered with ball in the field of play or not.

I see the possibilities on a catch/no catch scenario. Wouldn't it be great if a BU could make a call on a diving fly ball then huddle with PU to see if a request to review is appropriate (catch no catch)?
