Personally, I prefer ten pitchers in pre-modern (note that I never go back before 1962) and eleven with no DH in the present day when I'm playing an MLB setup. In my Nippon League I have twelve pitchers and no DH on a 28 man roster. During spring training I went with fourteen pitchers (six starters) and eighteen position players with a DH.

I don't mind using the DH in exhibition, spring training and All Star games, but stay away from it during the regular season and playoffs. I may have outsmarted myself. In the final ST game I was DHing my starting first baseman (and didn't insert him until the sixth inning) to try to keep him from being hurt, because he represents 45% of my total payroll. You guessed it; while running to first in the top of the seventh inning he twisted his knee and will be out for eight to nine weeks.

Wow, did I ever veer off topic!
