There has to be something to the issue, and just because former players haven't said anything doesn't mean they are off the hook.

Personally, I do think its overblown, because a man in the stands relaying signals to the batter would take way too long. I don't see AT ALL how it could work. A batter has probably a couple seconds from when the pitcher accepts the pitch and location, to when he releases the ball.
