Anybody been paying any attention to this topic? I have. I'm not sure how I feel about what's going on. From a health point of view, it's a positive. From a competition point if view, it's a negative.
Oh yeah, in my opinion, nobody blocked the plate better than Mister Mike Scioscia.

Agree with Alucard - wait until the rule in finalized
Whether it’s baseball or football; I enjoy the athleticism and skill of the players – seeing them smash their heads in does nothing 4 me.
+ pitchers can rarely hit and thus they are often an automatic out – more often than not a pitcher at the plate is a waste of an at bat – I rather see someone at the plate that can actually hit
+ sometimes a pitcher can be having an awesome pitching game but be solely taken out of the game b/c it’s his turn to hit in a crucial part of the game
Let the pitchers pitch & the batters bat IMO.
I like pitchers hitting. It really changers the dynamic of the game. I've seen pitchers win games at the plate.
