The only reason I really prefer non-DH baseball at this point, both real baseball and OOTP, is that I think it makes your bench a little more important, which creates interesting decisions from a roster building point of view. For example, the Mets are now one of the rare modern teams carrying three catchers, just because they felt they needed another left-handed bat on the bench as a pinch hitter. It's significantly changed Terry Collins' options -- for both good and ill -- in the late innings.
