The thing with Pittsburgh that would piss me off is that they have had some good players go through there but they consistently trade them away for almost nothing to avoid paying them. The Twins were like that up until recently. Theres no way you are going to put out a consistently competitive team in baseball trying to grow your team up from the minors if you're going to trade them before they start to cost you big money, its almost like the team would be a perpetual rebuilding mode and a farm system for the richer teams like the Yankees.

And as far as the DH goes, I think it would be better if the NL went with it. Whenever I have to watch NL ball, I hate it when a team has a rally going late and they either have to PH for their pitcher who may have been pitching a decent game or leave him in and kill the chance at scoring. a #9 hitter in the AL at least gives the team a chance to keep it going and give the pitcher a chance to keep pitching in a close game.
