Boo for the same reasons as stated in Weekly lineups. Stream starts...its a certain strategy to level the imbalance between pitching and hitters. Again...why not eliminate Pitchers?
The point is to be as realistic a reflection of MLB as possible...
Chris, I value your opinion, but there has been plenty of research given to this topic. What you are missing in all of this is defense. The value of the defensive field plus the pitcher is greater than that of the batter. However, the defensive stats are shown with the position players, so their value is bumped up much higher.
so if we remove defense pitchers = batters?
With defense removed, the batters have a slight edge on the pitchers (see the rules on the ratios)... but defense is not being removed.
