All the more reason to not waste time asking for the universal DH? Go for the biggest fish then, no? Opening with a softball that makes the already more popular other side look good seems like a bad idea By all means ask for big fish too. No demand it. Demand everything. Who cares if the fans end up siding with ownership? The fans can't support owners without it enriching players, especially if they do a good job negotiating. What do they get by holding back on any demand, big or small?
