Should MLB adopt the Reentry Rule?

[Trov]

This is more for fun, but imagine if the Reentry Rule was in place at MLB level.  Players that have good platoon advantages would get a huge boost.  For example, right now we have Matt Wallner, and Manuel Margot on our team.  They are both huge platoon advantage guys.  Wallner crushes RH pitching overall, and is about as bad a pitcher used to be when they hit against LH.  Margot is not quite as powerful against LH pitchers, but has  above average OPS, this year .829, but is terrible against RH.  We have other strong splits out there too. 

It has happened less this year, but last year, Rocco would sub out the platoon guys the first chance he could, sometimes making the next 1 or 2 at bats not good.  So lets allow a couple of reentry moves.  Not just for at-bats, but running bases too.  Lets get some more fun in the game always letting a guys top skill be seen, and stop making their worst skills be seen.  Who cares that it will make pitching moves pointless we want offense. Let the Twins sub out Wallner against LH guy only to bring back in later in game when a RH is on the mound.

Absolutely not.

With positional flexibility, in theory a team like the Twins could just rotate their starting 9 to put the best matchup to the plate each and every at bat.

Or the rule would say you have to re-enter to play the same position. And if a rule needs a bunch of asterisks, it's too complicated and should not be considered. Every new rule creates new problems.

Plus, I like baseball as a team sport with chance involved. Just no.

No.

Imagine the strategy involved and how much more exciting the games would be. Having the ability to bring back a player like Wallner when a righty is on the mound again could really change the dynamics. Plus, it would keep the fans engaged, knowing their favorite players could come back in.

This sounds like a ploy to make Rocco look better.
