I was opposed to the DH Rule at first, because I have a certain love for pitchers who absolutely dominate opposing batters, and my thought was that it would effect pitching statistics rather strongly, but after a number of Fictional and Modern saves that I've used with two leagues having a DH (or even one for that matter) it really hasn't effected it too strongly.
I mean, the lack of sub-2.00 ERAs makes me sad a little, but you can't complain when Jose Fernandez has a 2.09 (in Colorado for that matter), and Stephen Strasburg has a 2.20 (Still in Washington unfortunately.) But the DH rule hasn't changed too much, maybe the league average has gone up by .008 or so, but that is marginal at best. The DH rule does get rid of the horrendous hitting by pitchers, and allows them to stay on the mound, and only on the mound (:
