Preach. Why the frick would I want to watch a pitcher hit. I get the NL fan argument. I get that strategy is part of the game. However, if that's the case, we shouldn't have a DH at the high school and college level so these guys can someone adequately handle a bat in the bigs. That ship has sailed, time to embrace the DH.

Agree with this. When did we start using DH's in High School? It used to be that the best pitchers were also the best hitters anyway.

You think Ben Sheets couldn't hit? Hell, I thought Chad Durbin was a better hitter than a pitcher back in High School. Would he have been pressured into specializing already at the high school level?

Kids are specializing too much. I want to see more multi-sport athletes and I want pitchers to hit, dammit.
