I think it puts an equal emphasis on offense and defense when deciding on lineups.

But as I mentioned in my above post, if dudes like the DH we can have the DH. I'm flexible on this one.
Well, the reason I asked Is because I HATE the DH for all the reasons you mentioned and more!

SO I have a go at it... Put me down for a regular GM and I can probably handle helping as a Board member too If you need another guy for that.
