Managers use players at DH to give them some rest. It's almost like a full day off. Leyland was doing this with Guillen and Ordonez in the first series against Toronto. Maybe you should move along.
Show me evidence that DHs play more games than position players? If DHs didn't fatigue in this game, they would be playing in too many games. Yes, managers rest players at DH, but the Show could not incorporate this unless DHing was equivalent to a day off. If this was programmed, DHs would always have perfect fatigue and would be playing in too many games in a season. There's no "DH bug" because it works in the game as the programmers intended.
