They already are loaded with right handed power hitters with Stanton & Judge on the way back... makes no sense
Exactly ! You have a team that gets home run production from virtually every position even catcher and SS, where it is not expected.
A team full of RH hitters in a stadium built for LH hitters.
It's going to throw off the team chemistry. This guy should never play defensively, EVER ! The DH spot should be rotated, a guy like Sanchez should get it about 25% of the time, Stanton should get it frequently, Andujar if active, and others on occasion
Now your outfied has to be Stanton, Hicks, Judge, so you have Gardener and Clint Frazier left for one spot left for 4th outfielder, most likely Frazier gets screwed and sent back to Scranton, that is just criminal with the way he has been hitting ! Teams should think of what signing a guy like Encarnacion does overall. Teams carry 13 pitchers now, leaving 3 bench spots
Backup catcher
Utility infielder
4th outfielder
I see no value in a designated full time DH unless you can cut down on the number of pitchers you carry
You better hit like David Ortiz or better to be a DH. The thing that is valuable now is a player that can compently play 3+ positions and not suck as a hitter
