My two main problems with this article:

1. DH salaries are going to be higher because DHs tend to be older, overpaid position players who are too old/injured to play in the field anymore.

2. It appears he's including Andruw Jones' $22 milllion 2009 salary as a Texas Ranger DH in there. This isn't fair since the Dodgers, a National League team, paid basically all of this. And actually, I think they're paying it out over a few years, aren't they? If you take that out, it knocks the average DH salary down to around $6.6 million, I think.
