Pitching is still too much of the game. Another view would be to treat pitchers like a production line and have more of them to fill in when some pitchers arms blow out. But it does give MLB a reason to not give great signing bonuses due to the risk involved with young arms.
It would slow the game down, but shorter starts would help. If starters rarely went over 80 pitches, and you were allowed to carry 30 guys, suddenly that load is shifted.
I know relievers get the surgery too, but not as often.
