Lines: 226 Message-ID: <49oprk$rtm@nntp.Stanford.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: xenon.stanford.edu Xref: agate rec.sport.baseball:228849 rec.sport.baseball.data:1536 For this report, I am including 3 NLers who made plate appearances but who did not play at any defensive position as "DHes." Since the average DH was at a higher offense level than the average 1B (the highest among the field positions), I did not make an additional adjustment to the replacement level for DH; however, comment on the subject is welcome, as I am not totally sure that this is proper. Note: for those who disagree with the assertion "anyone can be a DH," check below, because *a lot* of people DHed.
