Case in point: The two Blue Jay World Series teams.

They were never the top team in baseball but they were designed for the playoffs (completely intentional or not is another story). They had a line-up that didn't need tinkering with pinch hitter's or anything like that... just pencil them in and watch it unfold. In the pen they had a couple key guys and the rest were low salary guys to keep costs low and then a couple main starters. Everyone else on the team was little more than adequate and was paid as such to keep the payroll respectable.
