My choice to not employ the strategy wasn't from not wanting to try something out of the box or different but my final belief is that if I employed this strategy in real life that it would have been obviously noted by MLB, other teams and the player's association.....ultimately this strategy would have had some sort of repercussions and the consequences- good, bad or indifferent- are not something that OOTP cannot envision or create (not a knock on OOTP)

Good choice.
The thing I would consider too is, irl other teams could employ this tactic too, so in essence, it's a level playing field.
In OOTP, I don't think the AI is programmed to think like that, and therefore it's probably an unfair advantage for the human GM.
