OK....after a lot, and I mean a lot of testing with OOTP 18, I am convinced that mostly defaults for this version are really good. I have although made a few adjustments which I feel make OOTP 18 run at an optimal level for modern day MLB leagues. I am posting the changes here. If I don't list something, you can assume it's at the default.
