Making everybody a lefty

So I read about a fictional lefties-only league that Craig Robinson created (he also does really cool baseball charts!), where the bases were switched around, so lefties could play short, second base, etc. I wondered if this could be duplicated in OOTP. I would basically fill teams with fictional players for the 6 teams and edit everyone to be bat left, throw left.

My question is, would this work? Like, would splits change, and would it affect plays in-game?

I would set up the teams based on Robinson's graphic and create another league where everybody is a righty. Each league would have its own championship, but I would want to create a total championship for both leagues (Lefty champ vs. Righty champ). Which leads to another question. Is that possible? Would the winners be recorded somewhere like the league champions?

I'm running OOTP8 if that makes any difference (my computer has a PPC processor (not Intel) so I can't run anything higher).
