Thanks for the info. Your data backs up my perception that the DH position is basically a place to park aging ballplayers who are past their prime and who likely would have failed to earn a roster slot had they had to compete for a field position.

In many cases, the DH is a former slugger well past his glory days. Good for the occasional dramatic home run, they are basically an easy out, as your stats point out. Ball clubs are just not getting their bang for the buck.

Or pumped up on steroids, like Big Papi.
