    What should happen to the only offense position? AL adopted it, NL has pitchers hit. I know that many people think that the Pitchers should hit, but I personally like it. It gives more playing time to players. I think the NL should adopt it.

    Dontrelle Willis is probably our best batter behind Cabrera.

    We have a lot of talented offensive guys on the team. DH gives a chance for more offensive players to hit and without it we couldn't find a full time spot for Shea Hillenbrand who is a nasty ground ball hitter. Easy single machine.

    Good question. There are a couple good hitting pitchers these days. But I think the NL should and most likely will adapt and have a DH someday.

    I dont like the DH rule. i think it should go back to all pitchers batting. It makes the manager actaully have to manage the game a little more. Also, i dont have the stats to back this up, but i would think more brawls are in the American league because the pitchers can hit a batter and doesnt have to step in the batters box against the opposing team. In the NL, he has to step in the box sometimes, that gives the other team a chance for payback, so he isnt prone to just hit batters he doesnt like.
