Any idea where pitching staff expansion is headed?

Currently, most teams are carrying 12/13 P's and using every last one of 'em. Managers are having trouble coming up with PH's, there bench is so small. I think it could be the impetus to standardizing the DH in both leagues...

    I think they need to get rid of the DH actually. You wouldn't have so many headhunting pitchers in the American League if the pitcher had to hit.

    Baseball has overexpanded the teams too much and it has shown. About 50 or so of these pitchers aren't major league caliber but with expansion they've found roles by being able to get one or two guys out a game.
