Nope. The short answer is that sacrificing with one out is simply wrong; I'm guessing that advancing the runner to third would be more defensible on the grounds that a runner on third will always score on a hit and can score without the ball being put in play by the batter. Bunting for a hit with a runner on first is worth a look because the infield will almost certainly be at double-play depth. I'm guessing that a guy like Ichiro could do that almost at will.

The DH sucks. Always has, always will.
