This was in todays SF Chron. He (Art) has some good thoughts here.
Art Santo Domingo has a terrific idea on how to improve baseball, and this is a voice of experience. The New York-raised son of Colombian parents, he followed his beloved New York Giants at the Polo Grounds and made a trip to San Francisco after the Giants moved in ’58. He wound up joining the organization, serving as a statistician, public-relations director (1969-75) and official scorer, a job he holds to this day. “Ten-man pitching staffs,” he said the other night. “Make it a rule.” Benches, now inexcusably thin, would expand from four or five to seven players. At a time when pitching is overwhelmingly dominant, some essential balance would result. Outside of relievers needing to adjust to longer outings, where’s the drawback? If teams can’t get by with five relief pitchers, they should get out of the business.
