Baez? Vogelbach? And this article got me thinking: how quickly could the NL move to a DH if MLB decided it wanted to? 2016? 2017?

They moved quickly on the catcher obsctruction rule and on shortening games, and with Wainwright and the drumbeat of a DH-everywhere MLB, I wonder if this might happen as soon as next year.

And if it does, then doesn’t that change things for the Cubs a bit? No more trying to squeeze in Baez/Bryant/Schwarber/Vogelback somewhere because you could just put whatever masher you want in the DH.

Am I getting ahead of myself?
