[QUOTE="bobbob, post: 1451719, member: 531828"] My big change would not be pace of play related (though I agree that is something that should be strongly looked at). I would force the MLBPA to cover the minor league players as well. If they start negotiating from that standpoint, I think we'll see a lot of changes in the time to FA, the shenanigans related to call ups, etc. Really, I would completely change the minor league system. I wouldn't have players go initially to a specific team. Low level minors would be basically Fall League style for everyone. Focus on skill development during the week, games F-Su. Maybe one level of team controlled minors, where if you don't call them up quickly you lose the rights. I haven't fully fleshed it out, I just don't think the current minors system is best for developing the skills of the players. [/QUOTE]
