I was so incredibly happy when I saw the news this morning. I still am! To think that MLB is actually going to try something that I (and others!) have been campaigning for for so long is just so awesome!

EDIT: The option they chose was my former favourite option, the SP-only DH. I think the personal bodyguard option is slightly better now due to the use of openers, but they're so similar I really don't mind. They're both so much better than the DH system we have now. Here's a comparison I did between SP-only and the existing systems. Notice it's score is 33 vs the current DH's -5.

EDIT: Matt, you once told me that it'd just be too much to implement in the game. Well, you might want to start taking another look at it soon, just in case.
