I've actually come to appreciate and enjoy the DH through the years. I'm not really in favor of the DH as a mode for more offense, but simply because I'd rather have players at the plate who focus a good part of their time on hitting rather than pitchers, who don't. If pitchers spent adequate time on hitting practice and had enough regular plate appearances to be somewhat profficient, I would oppose the DH. But they don't, and I'm not sure, in the modern-day game, I would want them to. Do position players have to spend any of their time practicing pitching? Just my view now as I approach the big 6 oh. Was anti-DH when it was first introduced, but have come to prefer it. When I play current MLB on OOTP, I usually add two expansion teams, morph to four divisions per league, change the playoffs to division winners and play DH in both leagues. My idea of the future of MLB.
