If the goal is to incentivize guys going longer into games, then why not just limit the number of relievers a team can carry so they can't run the bullpen as easily? Or change some rules about shuttling bullpen guys with options? Seems like that would be much easier to implement and it doesn't create worse hitting later in game when excitement tends to be higher. Seems like a no brainer you'd want a DH coming up in an important spot in the 8th or 9th rather than some bench bat / utility guy, no?
