I don't believe that there would be a precedent set if they reversed that call. The Indians were down 0-3. They only had one base runner when the last out was called (not enough to win or tie), and they lose if Joyce makes the right call. Either way it's a loss for the Indians. So Selig could make a rule that states a play reversal can only take place when the reversal will not effect the outcome of the game, ie the winner of the game won't change. That wouldn't set a precedent and would only come into play with instances like this. Heck, he could even make that rule, correct the mistake, and then reverse the rule afterwards.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
