How many games could the Phillies have won in 2006 with Jim Thome in their lineup? (Brad Rempel/Icon Sportswire)

As it appears more and more likely that the DH will eventually come to the National League, it could be fun to think of scenarios where the Phillies could have used this option.

Right now, there may be a scenario where this rule being added benefits the team—but thinking back, it is interesting to imagine the Phillies with a lineup featuring both Jim Thome and Ryan Howard. The obvious issue of the National League is two first baseman and only one lineup spot.
