Earthrhino's Speculation Place

Well, I had the teams right except I had the Padres instead of the Giants and I had the Yankees and Braves wining their divisions.

But my playoff scenarios stay the same (with the Giants substituting for the Padres):

I think people are really underestimating the Reds. People also tend to overlook the importance of a guy on the NL world series team that can be put in as a DH. The Reds have tons of guys (Nix, Hanigan, and Heisey), the Braves have Hinske and Glaus (and is Glaus really that bad at 3rd now that he can't play it at all?), the Phillies have Dobbs and Sweeney and the Giants have I guess Burrell and Huff. So, based on that I give the Reds and Braves the DH advantage if they make it that far, which isn't to say any of these guys could outperform any of the regular AL DHs (Guerrero TEX, Berkman NYY, Thome MINN, and whoever the Rays use Aybar? or Johnson?) Basically, it's all just another reason the DH should be outlawed.
