Sounds stupid to me too. But basically that's what people that want/like the DH are saying about pitchers that bat.

LOL What
Pitchers don't play every day, they play about once every 5 days or so. They get rusty, they aren't good hitters, they don't make it to the majors because they can hit the ball. Outlaw listed about 12 pitchers who are known as good hitters over the span of who knows how many years. Still that list wasn't even that impressive hitting wise. Hampton probably has about 10 career homeruns IF that. All these compairsons people are listing just don't work out at because its like apples and oranges. The pitching position is like no other position in ANY sport.
