Possible change of date for 2011 Opening Day

As John Shea from the San Francisco Chronicle reported yesterday, ESPN and MLB are considering having the Giants open up the season at home on Thursday, March 31 vs. the Dodgers. Immediately following that game, the respective team would fly down to LA for the Dodgers home opener  (4 game series). Why not make this easier and switch the series for each team, since they play home and away within 2 weeks of one another.
