Most of the strategy decisions are based more on the players on your team rather than what is "normal", at least in my opinion.
If you have good relievers and bad starters, set your "hook" to quicker, if you have speedy guys with good contact you can "hit and run" more, etc.
I would probably focus more on setting strategy up for individual players than adjusting the team strategies.
Anyway you do it will still lead to some baffling decisions by the AI though. I guess with the settings you do your best to limit the mistakes the game will make.
A couple of pointers I think I can recommend:
1) Read through your box scores and game logs and check for trends like a certain bench player always coming in for a certain starter, and react accordingly. (Try to limit the move, or allow the AI to continue making that move, etc.)
2) Be wary of how far you set the sliders. I did notice when I set my team to attempt pick-offs (hold runner) frequently that my pitchers lost some of their effectiveness. I looked it up in the manual and it said that the pitchers performance could go down, because he is more focused on the runner than the batter.
