With the DH strategy comes to be a much bigger factor in the game. As far as Suppan's he is a pitcher, but that is a personal error not one that can be associated to him being a pitcher on the basepaths. As a Bluejays fan what comes to mind for me is that of Todd Stotelmyre running the basepaths with a warmup jacket on in the World Series. With this in mind I would still prefer that the DH be eliminated. Let the managers earn their money and let the players play the game if you sign miilion dollar contracts you can learn to play first base. In the World Series it also leaves the NL team at a huge disadvantage as they do not alocate a significant sum of money in their payroll like Boston does for example for Ortiz and they are left with a pinch hitter for the entire season as their DH. Someone who hasen't even received significant at bats in the playofss until the World Series.
