Has anyone else tinkered with the 'infield in' settings to basically play for two all the time? Except for Bottom of the Ninth and game tied situations?

This is the Casey Stengel strategy as discussed in the Bill James book about managers (a great read).

To that end, I have Belanger (now trying Thon to get more power) and Oquendo. Basically Iead the league in pitching and defense and double plays, which is an almost impossible thing to do historically--only Stengel's Yankees accomplished it.

Essentially I never play the infield in and always get two. So for me, Turn Double Play is a priority, right after range.
