I can't believe I am voting this way since I am a NL fan, but vote yes.

It's obvious this is going to pass, so I'll vote yes.  I'm not sure anyone has been a big fan of the way the game handles pitchers hitting or double switches.

I dont like the pitchers hitting but how can I use the DH if I dont have enough batters to fill the lineup ... And the draft full of pitchers all the years.

I vote NO just because of my team cant handle the DH

I don't think this is a good reason to vote no. The change won't take place until the 2027 season at earliest I believe. So there is time to change your situation.

I vote yes because the AI does silly things with pinch hitters...

And probably is not a good reason, but it is my reason. I cant imagine my team changeing that much to have hitters in 3-4 years because I dont know how to take them. The drafts are full of pitchers and even taking a batter someday, it would be for my starting lineup so I see it as a big disadvantage for me with no hitting prospects at this moment. As I said, I have problems to fill the starting lineup with batters so ...

If the pitchers are batting, I have Ron Taylor that it is a big advantage for me because in comparison with the rest of the pitchers batting, he is an MVP :P

I bet this rule encourages some trades. There are players who can hit on almost everyone's team who are stuck in AAA because there is no DH.

I have tried to move Dana little but nobody seems interested. He is no superstar but can be useful at 1b and DH (if it passes)

I'll vote yes, only because I see this passing and I don't want the other GMs to throw tomatoes at me.

In regards to the AI not using pinch hitters correctly, set you pinch hitter priority and it seems fine to me.

If passed, what season will this come into play? Because all of a sudden Dan Allen, Jose Martinez and Xavier Harris have gone up a bit in value to me.

If the DH does pass, I think it would only be fair to give everyone an entire season to prepare for the change so it would be enabled starting in the 2026 season.

I vote yes despite the fact that SP Don Wilson (http://www.afblbaseball.com/afbl/statslab/player.php?player_id=567) is one of my best hitters.
