Not necessarily. In the begining yes BUT
Look at the rule changes the NFL has put in to protect the QB.
If some "high priced" F4's (ie Robinson Canoe) or F6's (Derek Jeter) are out for the season on a play in April, I can see the rule changing so that these guys do not have to take a beating, similar to the QB rules that the NFL has put in over the years. In a way, I could see MLB adopting either the FED or NCAA slide provisions (with the exception of home plate) to keep players safe.
I agree with you on the placement of runners.
This is the infant stage for MLB replay and just like the NFL, it will most likely get "tweaked" each and every year.
