This is mostly for AL fans but if you are a NL fan you can answer too.
Me, I like the DH rule. Why? Because it gives that good defensive but sucky hitting 1st baseman or outfielder you have on your bench a chance to play and your great, clutch hitting but can't handle a ground ball guy can hit for your team.
I like the fact that the NL does not have the DH rule because this is where we see that Pitchers can also hit. Example, CC Sabathia. This guy was hiding in Cleveland and now that he is in Milwaukee he has hit 2 homeruns.
This also goes for our ace Carlos Zambrano. Everyone knows that he can pitch but this guy is hitting .350! Not every pitcher who is as dominant on the mound can be that dominant at the plate as well.
So, do you like the DH rule? Why or why not?
