there is probably a fair (but not huge) difference. Sabremetric is definitely the way to go in my opinion, since those strategies are backed by statistical analysis rather than relying on tradition. There's no reason not to heavily employ infield shifts for example, or to attempt a lot of sacrifice bunts. For stolen bases, the rule of thumb is that it's only a net positive if you are successful 75% of the time, which most players can't do. So I'll usually set it all the way to the left and change the individual player strategy for any really good basestealers to override it.
