DH Considerations.

New York Daily News - Baseball - Bill Madden: Time for baseball to designate AL-only rule to scrap heap

This is two months late but important - always adjust pitchers values upward and downward when they change leagues.

NL pitchers going to the AL will be worse. See Randy Johnson, Carl Pavano and Jaret Wright.

AL pitchers going to the NL will get better. See Roger Clemens and Pedro.

In the case of Tim Hudson, he has pitched a couple of runners-allowed abundance and still has an ERA well under 4.00. I guess having only 7 hitters in the line-up does wonders for keeping runners from being plated.
