Also, I can't believe how bad Junior has gotten. Kinda makes me a little melancholy. .10 runs over <b>replacement</b>? *sigh* I totally believe Tango and MGL, but I’m suprised players hit worse when not having to worry about playing defense.

I think Tango's -17.5 for DHs is really a -22.5 positional adjustment combined with a +5 to account for the "DH penalty" that will be seen in the actual offensive stats.
