I have yet to play in an "No" DH league and Haven't really studied on what there is to look for In pitchers that will have to bat.

I was wondering what or how to determine who/what makes a good hitting pitcher.

Is it mainly N.L. pitchers that are worth drafting or is it pretty even in both leagues???

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm in an 07 No DH now. Not sure how (or if you can) look for good hitting pitchers. I just remembered Arroyo as having hit 2-3 HRs last year, AND he's a quality pitcher, so drafted him.

He's already hit a couple for me, but for the most part, I completely disregard whether or not a pitcher can hit (for instance, in the '69 leagues).

The reason I ask is that the next couple of Tour teams are without a DH and was wondering what some of the strategies might be when choosing a pitcher to hit.

on the right after the error number there is a numbe like "#1WR"

This is the hitting card used. I totally don't know which card is better, though N means they can hit HR's, W mean nope. I think 7N (or 4?) was the best hitting card, which is like saying dog poop is the best poop, none really hit enough to matter much.

The first number is his overall offensive rating (1 is the worst; 8 is the best). The second character indicates whether the pitcher has home run power (a "W" means no; an "N" means yes). The third character is what side the pitcher hits (righthanded, lefthanded or switch).

Thanks for the info,

I didn't want to get into those "Tour" seasons without knowing at least something about what I was going to be getting into.

Thanks guys,
