Still not practical. You want a guy that never got to the majors working those games as the standard?
Now they could add a couple of guys to each crew and rotate guys in and out regularly, but that is not going to happen either.
How many times does this situation even happen? Not very often if hardly ever, so there would be no need to do such a thing. Baseball is not that hard where guys cannot adjust for one game in 3 Person in an emergency.
