I'm not sure if there are stats to look at but common sense should alleviate most of this. Should there be a high chance of me using a pinch runner in innings 1-3 when I'm up by 4+ runs? Uh, no. Should I pinch hit for the pitcher in the 9th inning when trailing by 3 runs...Of course. As it is now, many of these settings "out of the box" are way off base. Now, I don't know if the AI teams that appear to have these crazy strategy setups actually use them (don't know why they wouldn't) but a more reasonable strategy setup should be default when starting a new game.
