As always going against the grain, I see a proliferation of 1B/DH types in the OF meaning AB being lost to defensive replacements as well as more platoons based on splits (which can also help keep salaries down). Since we need five and possibly six (I personally like to have an OF as my UT player), I actually think that OF is pretty thin (accepting that catcher will always be the thinnest).
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
