But why stop there. Why should Mike Piazza play the field when he's no good at it? Let's have each team's lineup be the 9 best hitters and in the field play the best 9 fielders.

Far from it, Manny is one of the worst fielders in the league.

according to what? i watch him on a nightly basis, and he doesnt run around like an idiot like the poster said. hes servicable, and comparing mannys fielding to a pitcher getting up at bat is absurd.

lame. its not the same thing, one league does it one way and the other league does it differently. i prefer they both do it the same (especially with interleague play) and IMO the DH > pitcher hitting. sure some strategy is lost, but the fact that a .132 hitter doesn't step to the plate 3 times a game more than makes up for it IMO.

He's pretty bad, sublime.

no matter how bad he is, he is not a farce on the field. as opposed to 90% of the pitcher AB's i see.

The DH is 1 of the 2 worst things to ever happen to baseball. The other is astro turf.

I like the dichotomy of the leagues now. AL vs NL. That's great. Ditch interleague. Have separate umps and presidents. Make them completely different and they only see each other in the WS.

personally i like interleague play, but i do think it has some flaws. first and foremost being the schedule unbalance between teams fighting for playoff spots. also the DH in the AL is beyond nostalgic now. its just retarted.

i prefer to see athletes do what they are best at, pitchers pitch and hitters hit.

Well hell, then let's have separate fielders and hitters. Why make all these guys that are great fielders hit? They could have 9 fielders and 9 different hitters. And then how about 9 different base runners too? They could all be great sprinters. That way we could only have to see the players doing what they're best at. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
