MLB Power Pros Wii - worth it if you hate baseball?

I'm not a baseball fan...at all...but I have come to absolutely love Baseball Stars 2 for the NeoGeo as of late. Now, I'm thinking about grabbing a budget Wii game tomorrow or tonight and I can't stop looking at the newly reduced MLB Power Pros. Will a non-baseball fan like it in the same way as I love the arcadey Baseball Stars 2? I NEVER buy baseball games but I'm thinking about making the exception.
The alternative would be No More Heroes - a game I'd like to play but know I don't really have the time for
EDIT: New title to be more descriptive...

I dunno about baseball though. I hated Wii Sports baseball.
Not sure if this helps you or not, but there you go.
Edit: Relevant to the title change, he's not a huge baseball fan in general, but he was having way too much fun with baseball in Wii Sports, so he got interested in this (egged on by some positive reviews he'd seen).
The game has a lot more depth than Baseball Stars, allowing you to set up hit n runs, and defensive shifts. There's options and stats galore: create new players, fantasy drafts, the ability to tweak everything from general "Fielding" to specific "First Pitch Strike" tendencies.
But before you get buried, it also offers a lot of automation options if all you want to do is swing and throw. The bulk of the game is strictly a stick/pad and button game, you won't be using the motion-sensing stuff to pitch or hit outside of the limited "Wii Remote Mode" - baseically HR Derby and single game exhibition. This is definitely a PS2 game ported to Wii - you even use stick/pad to navigate menus.
The RPG-esque Success Mode is probably the best part of the game - much more involving than similar modes in other sports games, and the decisions you make actually matter. Very text-heavy, though.
In-game announcing is pretty bad.
I paid $20 around last August. I'd buy it again.
Thanks a ton - it's definately not for me then. I was thinking based on the appearance that it was an arcade-style game.
Guess I'll be doing No More Heroes or maybe some DS games for my upcoming vacation!

This game is as shallow or as deep as you want to play it. So much customization and so many play options are available.
I think this may be one of the few times that Japan getting the multitude of exclusives for years benefits us, since out of no where, we're getting what like a decade of refinement to the series.
I hate baseball and all sports games as a rule, but this game lets me just have some fun and enjoy. Can't recommend this one enough....especially at that price.
The game may look cutesy, but they hit you with the hard stuff. Season mode will start by telling you what MLB stands for, and how many games are in a season. By May of the first season, you'll be told that Shea Stadium's a pitcher's park. In any postgame wrapup, you'll get these huge reams of info showing everything down to what the pitcher threw, when, where, and what happened to each pitch.
If you want them. You can basically just grip and rip if you're not interested in all the minutiae.
some people, myself for example, don't enjoy ratings and would much rather hear from word of mouth.

Thank you. Not only am I capable of reading online reviews, but my question wasn't "how do the critics feel?" it was specifically if I don't normally like baseball does it have the same universal appeal as Baseball Stars 2.
I may have to reconsider this one...
