What do you get for the team with a $200 million payroll?


Craig Wilson couldn't hold down an everyday job with the Pittsburgh Pirates, bottom-dwellers of the NL Central and owners of the second-worst* record in all of baseball. Yet he does start for the New York Yankees, AL East leaders and owners of the second-best record in all of baseball.

I can't quite picture how the argument goes, but I think these facts can be used to show that at least one of the following teams (Pirates, Yankees) is retarded. Challenge: use these facts to fashion an argument for abolishing the DH. (Maybe it would be cleaner and less controversial to abolish the Pirates.)

* and OMIGOD are the Kansas City Royals an awful baseball team which happens to play in the major leagues.
