DH or no DH?

kq76 · 05-26-2010, 12:21 AM

All else equal, do you prefer to manage a team in a DH league or one in a non-DH league?

I used to think that it was probably best to have one sub-lg use the DH and one not so that people could pick, but I wonder if the overwhelming favourite is to play in a DH league and since you often only get to pick from a limited # of open teams you might not really get to pick which to play in anyway other than not to play in that league at all. So, maybe DH for both sub-leagues is best.

My experience is that in the past in my leagues the desire for DH or non-DH is almost evenly split. There are roughly he same number of people who absolutely must manage either a DH team or non-DH team. The majority usually don't care however, but I find having that choice available is important. I actually do have fairly often someone who will ask to be bumped down the waiting list until a DH team is open or a non-DH team is open.

I am in one of each. If the set up is MLB style then I do not want a DH. If it is a non-MLB set up then a DH is good.
