With great regret I have to say that I'd put a DH into the National League.

I love the pitcher hitting and the strategies it enables or entices. But kids are taken out of the hitting lineup as pitchers now in HS, college and the lower levels of the minor leagues. By the time they get to hit again, its been 3-8 years and its just gotten kind of silly.

Gone are the days (for the most part) where many pitchers can contribute from the plate...heck, not many can even bunt anymore...so its just become sort of a boring part of the game.

If you say I'm nuts, a big part of me agrees with you. I wish it wasn't so...but I think its time to just move on.
