Yeah, I'd rather see a system where for the whole season, you designate 20 or 21 active players for a game, with a 5 or 6 man "healthy scratch" like NHL (which would usually be the last few starters,and maybe you have some sort of "emergency roster" to unlock another one or two players for extra innings).
Then in September, the taxi squad can still rise to 40, but you still have the same 20 or 22 active per game. More guys means you don't have to worry about tired arms any game, but both sides are at least always playing with an equal number of players, and the actual rules of the game don't change at any point in the season.
