Overall i would rate my infield and pitching staff matching to be a success as we went from a sub .500 team to one that came within a whisker of winning the world series.
For some reason everytime i sign any player with promising looking fielding range and stats they dont seem to be able to quite replicate it for me.
In addition to the upturn because of my pitchers and infielders i really drilled down on the bunt/stolen base area to try and minimise wasted outs.
By keeping team strategy to no hit and run or bunts at all it felt like we gave ourselves more of a chance throughout the season to not beat ourselves.
With reference to the maths of it all, the decreased percentages (at least from a sabermetric standpoint) that incurring an extra out brings about do not justify the reward of advancing the runner.
Also i was able to maintain a healthy number of stolen bases by restricting steal attempts to only those players who consistently demonstrated above a 75% success rate.
With reference to the question about mlb teams then i have the same format as standard which mirrors the current MLB.
