If someone held a gun to my head and told me there HAD to be a DH, I'd say that having one was illogical, and allow as many in the game at once as a team had roster space for (24 man rosters). That would increase the number of players employed just because they were good defensively AND make two-way players much more valuable. It might even reduce (maybe by one) the number of pitchers carried on the roster, since with better defense and no need to pinch-hit for pitchers, managers might not feel it necessary to switch them as often.
