Byes would be really nice. Whenever you hear talk of changing baseball's playoff system you invariably hear of people who would like to give the best team or best 2 teams in the league a bye. I myself would definitely use a system where the 1st place team got a bye in each league (or division) and the #2 and #3 seeds fought it out for the right to face the #1 team.

Personally, I couldn't see wanting to use an NBA or NHL playoff system for baseball. While I'm not so big on only seeing division winners make the playoffs like hardcore traditionalists, I can definitely see where they are coming from and would want to give the first place team the reward they deserve with a bye through the first round. Otherwise you're devaluing the regular season just too much.

Markus, if an easy way to implement byes comes to mind, please do add them.
