As a Whiteyball disciple, this is largely how I've done it.
I traded away Robert for starting pitching (Robert and prospects for Michael King and Dylan Cease, with King leading the league in wins and second in ERA), kept Crochet, traded prospects to the A's for Brent Rooker, and then in general signed or traded for speed and defense guys. Lots of platooning and defensive replacements. Catchers the best framers in the league, with good arms as well.
I presently have a league-leading defensive efficiency and range, resulting in league-leading ERA despite being 8th in FIP. I also have double the stolen bases of the second-place team. My payroll is slightly higher than it was on the 41-121 team, and my farm is still in decent shape.
