Agreed. Most players positions are not listed as DH.

But in this instance the stats by position page as referenced here is not determined by a players listed position. They are determined by the position the player plays the most.

I.E.: in my game Bake McBride's primary position is RF. But my RF is Jimmy Wynn, who is also listed as a right fielder. McBride plays primarily in LF on my team - probably 90% or more of the time. On the stats by position page he shows up on the LF page even though he is listed as a RF. There are several other players where that happens as well. Tony Batista is listed as 3B but plays primarily 2B on his team so his stats show up on the 2B stats page. Interestingly enough, when McBride leads a particular stat category, it shows his picture w/ RF next to it even when he is listed as a leader on the LF stats page.

Also, there are players whose listed primary position may be 1B or LF for instance, but are primarily used as a DH. And they don't have their stats show up on the LF or 1B stats page. Albert Belle in my league has LF as his primary position but he DHs most of the time. He doesn't show up on the LF stats page even though his numbers are better than lots of the LFs on that page. If fact, he doesn't show up anywhere unless I select "combined position".

So in other words, if a player DHs most of the time, his stats do not show up anywhere other than the combined page. From this I am deducing that all listings on the "stats page by position" are determined by the position played the most ---- not the primary position listed.

So I am still looking for a way to see which DHs have the best offensive stats. And, like I said, this DH only league mirrors today's universal DH rule.
