The DH gives an AL team the advanrtage in signing a bat. Like Dunn, for example. If he can’t play left and can’t play or doesn’t want to play first, where do the Braves put him?

But more of the problem is bad management in the big market clubs.

And, one formerly big market club conceding the high ground and becoming a middle market team, the Braves. During the TBS run, the extra revenus was powerful. And, as long as Ted owned, he was looking at it partly to compete like Steinbrenner (it wasn’t just to make a profit).

Anybody catch Olney(?) discussing Adam Dunn? Said one GM he spoke to said he wouldn’t take him for $2 M per year, much less $10 M due to his lack of every other baseball skill besides hitting.

Sounds like the perfect DH.

Which brings up this:

As much as I hate it, if the NL doesn’t adopt the DH soon, the talent disparity between the leagues will be unbridgeable.

The fact that the NL won the World Series this year is an anomaly, not a predictable event (remember, they were playing the Rays).
