It's been discussed a lot lately, here is an official suggestion to make it happen. I think we should move to it for several reasons:
1) MLB is headed that direction, possibly as soon as 2020.
2) The only benefits are the interesting switches and maneuvers that NL manager has available to them AND the idea that pitchers can't be as cavalier with beanballs, since they have to step into the box themselves in a couple innings.
3) Those 'benefits' mean much less to us because we don't manage inning by inning, or even game by game.
4) There's a list of players that basically useless to half the league. Domingo Santana comes to mind. Solid patience/power guy that usually sims well. Had to sell him for a small pile of cash this offseason because I couldn't have him playing significant OF inning for me.
Change couldn't be for 2020 NSBL, since rosters are already built. So I think it would take effect in 2021.
Let's do it.
Feel free to constructively agree, disagree or just whatever.

I accept the DH. Hell bring it this year might make for a fun start to the season with NL teams trying to get someone

Even in NL only fantasy leagues, you get enough utility positions to represent a DH or fill specialized needs on the roster. Now that all teams have an extra roster spot, I don't see why you all would wait any longer. Another reference, DH has been in the All Star game for years.

Wow, it was actually four years ago, not two. My new job has turned my mind to mush. A GM brought this up to me and I was wondering what other GMs thought. I am pretty indifferent to the idea of using the DH in the NL. All I would recommend is that if we do it, we push out implementation a couple seasons to give teams a chance to start drafting for a future DH. |

I've been a hold out for years, and still would be in real life, but this is simulation baseball and mo' hitters, mo' fun.
Bring on the DH! Start it now. I'm in.

I'm all for it. NL teams have to have a DH for interleague games anyway, most NL teams already have a guy or two to use as a DH. I don't see it being an issue if we started doing it this year, but I'd be OK with waiting a year.

I don't think we should do it this year. Many NL teams didn't have a chance to account for it during free agency. I'm sure almost every team has a guy they could put in the role, but that means they now have to give about 600 plate appearances to a guy, or guys, that they planned to be a bench bat. Giving teams a year notice will allow them to look at moves to make with an eye to the future or sign a guy next offseason.
