Since injuring his Achilles tendon on Saturday night in the batter’s box, St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright has said that he does not want the designated hitter in the National League.
For those arguing in favor of the DH with the injuries over the weekend to both Wainwright and Max Scherzer, the argument that it is time to bring the DH to the National League is certainly valid. It doesn’t mean that we all have to agree or disagree on the matter. I have been a longtime opponent of bringing the DH to the National League and will continue to have that opinion.
