To me its always been about making choices.
You want the great fielding SS, you have to put up with his poor hitting
You want the great hitter, you put up with his poor glove
for the person who handles the ball on every play on defense, you have to have a strategy for getting through his AB without destroying your offense.
To me, the DH is a specialization tool that is out of place in the generalization that is baseball. Specialization is for football where you can bring in someone who is great at handling a special situation but little else. In baseball, if you spend so much time working on 1 aspect of the game that you suck at the rest, you should have to pay a penalty for it.
When I play historical, I go with what they really used at the time. In my fantasy leagues I always have the DH off.
