I'd prefer something very similar to what hockey; basketball and football now do.

That is, and when you do this; you could eliminate the DH.

Is a 28 to make 25. Meaning; that each game 3 players, who would be full major leaguers (the Union would love this) would sit; in Hockey we call them healthy scratches; Basketball now has a 15 man roster to which 12 are eligible each nite and football has a 53 man roster to which 48 can play.

Your 28 man roster must be 16 position players and 12 pitchers and you could only have 15 position players and 10 pitchers eligible each game. Obviously; one of your scratches would normally be the starting pitcher the game before.
