Designated Hitter (PASSED)

[mstreeter06]

Do you want to enable the Designated Hitter league-wide in the majors or keep it disabled in the majors? It is currently only enabled in the minor leagues and during the All-Star and Spring Training.

Discuss your thoughts below and vote in the poll. Thanks guys!

in real life the DH is an abomination...this is not real life. OOTP fucks up the way pitchers are subbed.

I had been against this until now. I'm very for it. Add the DH.

[mstreeter06]

I would be all for DH in OOTP and in our league.

I grew up in an NL city (STL) but live in an AL city (KC) now which has helped me appreciate the value of the DH in the real world as well /ducks.

No one wants to see pitchers bat or get hurt batting or running during a game in OOTP or in real life.

Only 8 votes have been cast with 6 yes votes so far.

I'm unable to see who has voted in the poll and only know your thoughts if you post them here in this topic. Currently there are 8 approval votes for enabling the DH league-wide out of 10 votes. I would like to see a complete 20 votes or close to it before deciding anything.

If things stay the same as we finish the 2023 offseason and as we start the 2024 season, AFBL would likely adopt the DH for the 2025 or 2026 season depending on how long it takes to get 20 votes or enough of the league to post in this thread.

Suggestions:

Everyone should be required to vote on all off season topics. If not some sort of penalty should be incurred (loss of draft pick, etc.) or.....

if at least 15 votes (75% of the owners) are not received on any topic then it should be tabled until the next season.

Yeah this topic I'm not going to act on until there's all or most of the team's voted and/or voiced their thoughts on in this thread.

yes to DH

[JKGuy16]

I actually voted to enable the DH.  Let's mix it up a bit and see what happens. 

[mstreeter06]

Still only 12 votes have been cast out of 20. Approval needs 14 votes (2/3 of the league) with 8 of the 12 current votes approving of enabling the DH league wide.

I didnt see this topic till now. I hate to see the pitchers batting because sounds stupid to me, but with the roster I have ... I have to vote No to the DH.

I have not enough batters to fill the starting lineup so the DH wouldnt be good for us and I have Ron Taylor that should be probably the best pitcher at bat in the league so ... thats why I am voting no

You can always start ron as the DH

This is how I feel. We still only have 13 votes cast.
