The DH makes no sense. Why shouldn't a pitcher have to hit. It doesn't make sense that just because a player only plays every 5 days they don't have to hit. Doesn't make economical sense either. Teams have to use a roster spot on a player that just hits. It gives a big advantage to teams like the Yankees and Red Sox who can give a huge contract to a DH, while a team like the Rays can't afford to spend money on someone that doesn't play in the field.
