How about if we put a limit on the amount of times a player can be a
DH?  For instance, If Dave Kingman can only DH in 40 games, and might
therefore have to actually pick up a glove at some point?

This rule would still remove the freiks, but would keep the extra offense
the DH provides.  If used in this manner, it would allow a manager to
periodically rest all of his players by allowing them to be a DH for
a day.  

I picked 40 as an arbitrary number, but I felt that it would be to much
for a team to carry 4 specific DH'ers.

My $.02.
