I like the DH for the fact that I get to see more hitting. It also adds more stars to the lineup as in the case of the Angels. There's four starting outfielders on that team. Without the dh you'd prolly have to trade one of them.
And yes it adds more years to some players careers. Look at a player like Mike Piazza. He couldn't play every day as a catcher and had to learn to play first base. If he had been in the AL he could dh half the time to give his knees a rest.
I'm not gonna say that the dh is the way to go. I like that it does make the both leagues different and that's a good thing.
