Your post about how AL teams need to find young hitters to DH seems to already have been implemented in Toronto. Josh Phelps is a 25 year old hitter, who appears to have little to no value in the field. This looks like what the A's did with Jeremy Giambi, too. I think it's likely that Matt Stairs would also have DH'ed in Oakland if John Jaha hadn't still been effective.

I think the lesson we learn from this is that if you think something should be done a certain way, look at Oakland (and Toronto) and see if they're already doing it. :)
