3. I would make both leagues use the DH. I don't need to see pitchers hit.

The overall OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) for Major League DHs is below the league average for all other players. (Based on DH's with at least 150 at bats who have played as DH more than they have played any other position. Source: SI)

Disregarding all the traditional arguments agains the DH, bottom line, teams, with a couple of exceptions that prove the rule, are filling the spot with mediocre hitters who are not fullfilling the intended goal of the rule.

Designated HItter? Should be changed to Designated Batter.
Get rid of the DH and play Baseball.
