He has extremely elite SP which allows him to run a 5 man pen (full of elite starters) that doesn't even have anyone set for Closer/Setup/Stopper. No true RP on the team. Then he's able to go nuts with the platoons.
Such a well-crafted team, but an expensive one. Better than most of those "Buy all the Perfects" whales that have no strategy. He only has 7 actual Perfects.

I have a TON of respect for Twinsfan, the manager of the Aqua Sox. He seems to be ahead of the curve on a lot of things such as this. I remember the first season in the Perfect Leagues, just going through his strategy that first World Series as a couple of us were trying to dissect what he was doing when he went with a two man rotation in the playoffs. It was really a great opportunity to theorycraft pitching.
I haven't had the opportunity to play in the same league as the Aqua Sox for quite some time but I've adopted several of his pitching strategies and tried to tinker with them a little bit to suit what I'm trying to accomplish.
I don't completely understand everything he does (and would love the opportunity to discuss stuff with him), but all I know is that he keeps winning and that's good enough for me.
