I started a thread about this last year ( I believe). It stated that AL Teams will get a guy just to hit and pay him 8 million, where that same spot in the NL is almost always a guy that can play multiple positions. Counsell, DeRosa, Schumaker, come to immediate memory. An NL team cannot talk a great hitter like Ortiz, Sheffield, or Thome to sign with them so they can hit just for interleague play or in case we make the World Series. You could offer 20 mil and most of these guys would just rather play. The other side of the sword is that these guys, or the guy they replace in the field, are the first man off the bench in the NL parks. They will obviously pinch hit when needed. So, basically with Boston you could have Ortiz, Lowell, or Youkilis as your first man off the bench. Yankees could have ARod or Giambi coming off the bench. Detroit could have Sheff, Cabrera, or Guillen. To me, something has to be done. There is plenty of offense in the majors, get rid of the DH. It was put into the game to increase offense and they don't need that anymore.
