DH's better be absolutely dominant to deserve HOF status, deal with *that*. (nm) - musubi Oct 16, 11:18 7
- dominant? like so dominant as to be considered the best there was at the position and have MLB rename a trophy after them? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:22 6
  - No, like better than all the other hitters who have played at real positions. - musubi Oct 16, 11:25 5
    - so you want to throw the glove guys out of the Hall? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:28 4

        even using your contextual argument, I ask again, do you want Ozzie Smith thrown out of the Hall of Fame? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:38 2

        Oh, I see. *Flair* is the deciding aspect. How very Office Space. -- nm - David Oct 16, 11:45
Players don't come up through the minors developing thei DH skills. They play the position because either they can't field anymore or... - Inigo Oct 16, 11:16 2
- ahem -- nm - Big Pappi Oct 16, 11:18 1
  - Even he started as a first baseman. -- nm - Inigo Oct 16, 11:21
