Will there be a joint team (MLB and MLBPA) to calibrate the contraptions?     Will it be done by an outside entity?     Will there be negotiatons to determine what exactly is a "strike zone"?      Can the umpire over rule the machine?     Will a player be able to challenge (file a grievance) a call based on the last calibration of the device   ....   akin to challenging a radar gun based on weather conditions, the last calibration,  etc.?    This could be a sticky wicket.     :P
