Tango/ESPN - DH
My article:
Debates on the designated hitter rule tend to end in a stalemate because of an “all or nothing” approach—it’s either everyone has a DH, or everyone doesn’t. But once you compromise and get creative, it becomes a more reasonable discussion. For the sake of argument, we’re going to say the split rules are a bad thing: The AL and NL should play by the same rules. For further sake of argument, we will presume that the pro-DH and anti-DH people will never accept each other. We need a mixed solution. So we are looking for hybrid rules that can exist in both the NL and AL. While I didn’t create each of these solutions, I am championing them.
And I list four rules that we’ve discussed in the past, here or at Fangraphs. My plan (hope?) is that I can get a reasonable dialogue going with ESPN readers, rather than the typical party-line type of useless dual-monologues. I’ll check back in the afternoon to see on the kind of commentary.
