Personally, I'd like to see the playoffs a bit more revamped. Playoff rosters should be seperate from active 25 man rosters. Because the playoffs come right after the September callups session and a few callups may not appreciate being demoted again (the AAAA types), sometimes you either have to release them or put them on waivers.

I think you should be able to keep your active roster at 40 or whatever and have a seperate area for a playoff roster, fixed at 25. Something like this would allow you to fix your roster between series with ease. Say you kept an extra bat for the five game series and now, in a seven game series, you want another arm in the pen. You just alter your rosters with ease and no worries.

The other thing I would like to see is no using players in the playoffs if you didn't already have him on August 31st in your organization or 40 man or however the majors rule is. I'm not sure...maybe it's already like this, but I swore I saw a player picked up in mid-September and used in the playoffs. Maybe I'm wrong, but anyway, there is a reason there is an August 31st trade deadline.
