Replay would really mess up the flow of the game; its history.
With that said, perhaps the other Umpires should be given more latitude ... for example, a vote system - if an ump suspects a call is bad, they can vote on it - as of now, if my recollection is correct, the head ump can simply ignore / refuse to accept the call of another ump.
Combine an ump voting system (that is the umps on the field could override the calls of any other if they felt a call was bad) along with stricter performance reviews of umps - that may be all that's needed.
If they do choose to go with instant reply, they should implement it like they do with american Football - very limited number of replays (challenges) by each team.
To digress a bit ... if MLB went to a replay challenge scheme, that would likely eliminate many heated arguments in which players/managers/etc yell at the Umps; kick dirt, etc ... I'd miss that LOL!
