A Reader Writes about DH Games Played
Your decision or oversite in not providing info on number of DH appearances on the player profiles diminishes the value of your usefulness. In the past, FBG has been one of my chief sources of information heading in to the draft. This year I must seek out additional sources for rather basic player information.
I'm disappointed.

I'm sorry you feel that way. The last time we included DH information for major leaguers was 2005. This is the third year of the DH-less major league games played lines. My feeling was that the DH display was the clearest way to differentiate between ML and Minor League games played lines in the stat boxes, and that the DH info is much more important at the minor league level than at the major league level.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, and will consider a different way of presenting the information if there is some sort of consensus that there is a better way to do things. I've posted your email and my answer on the website, and request that interested readers post comments if they care.
Cheers,
Peter
