It seems that there's an overwhelming obsession with absolute realism with this game. On some level, I get it - it's a simulation. But if all you're doing is tweaking to make sure you get the EXACT stats a player will in real life, even if it means switching to "Timing" style hitting, is it even fun? What's the point of playing?

Personally, I like Zone hitting and trying to hit 70 home runs with, say, Nick Swisher.

I mean, it's just a video game. The 'real thing' is available to watch on TV or play in real life. I'm not saying everyone but me is wrong - to each their own, and everyone is certainly free to play the game as they see fit! But for me, fantasy draft with DH in both leagues is the way to go!
