Hi,

Having just been promoted to B227 through sheer blind luck, I'd really like to start playing the game in earnest, and as such need to decide on a strategy and then rebuild my team accordingly.

The two strategies that appeal the most are Defensive, where I guess the aim is to restrict the oppositions chances to score runs, and Sabermetrics, where it's about getting on base.

Which of the general strategy templates suit each approach, and should I be setting any player specific strategies?

For both strategies, what are the important batting and pitching attributes? What positions should the roster contain? What's the ideal pitcher rotation, and how should the bullpen be set up?

I also believe that you can adjust your ballpark to suit the type of strategy, so any advice on this would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
