Takeout slides are tough to judge. Can't fault runners for sliding into the bag, but I would advocate for a ban that includes heavy penalties for sliding into a fielder who's on one side of it or the other -- or for sliding late over the bag into a fielder (Matt Holliday comes to mind). 99 percent of the time it's a you know it when you see it thing, so wouldn't be a huge change/problem.
