How many guys are gonna sac bunt when a homer is worth much more? Maybe a bad example, but it pretty much eliminates the team aspect of the game. It would work far better in baseball than football or basketball, though.

Yeah I guess there would have to be a bonus for wins or something to help people play more team oriented. Or make 10 sac bunts/flies worth a bonus.

seriously. this would just be ridiculous.
Maybe we can add an extra $1-million bonus for each triple so that every time a guy hits a double he will pretty much always ignore the coaches and just go for the extra-base.
Would be even more entertaining to watch the guy being intentionally-walked go diving across the plate ala Kelly Leach to try to get a hit.
Trying to turn baseball into some sort of elaborate skins-game would be pretty silly.
Hitting behind the runner to try to advance him a base and little things like that which aren't generally measured in traditional stats are kind of important to the game too.
The object of the game is to win by scoring more runs than the other team.
