Bat Masters: AIM, Draft, Modern, DH/non-DH (better with non-DH but can be used for both) Overview: Team specific manager. Pitching: Starters: All pitchers with less than 30 starters CAN RELIEVE. All others will be considered solely as starters. So, you'll need to bench your rotation if they don't meet that definition. Closers/Superclosers: Rated by SAVES and not grade. Supercloser types (a Rivera, a Gagne) are one inning types with 25 or more saves. Closers have between 12 and 19 saves. Not sure what he will do with relievers with between 20 and 24 saves (?). Will use closers for multiple innings if RR is 14 or higher for the 7th, 10 or higher for the 8th. So, not a LaRussa one-inning type closer strategy. Will use setup relievers is supercloser can't go multiple innings. Hook: Generally modern, i.e, quick with use of setup guys, long/superclosers. Best guess: load him and see how he does. Offense: Has an interesting H&R strategy that might be useful. Conservative base stealing; greatly influenced by steal success. Not much bunting except late or with low power hitters. Steals: steal rating considered greatly; base stealers given 50% bonus on steal numbers late (8th inning onward or 6th onward and two outs). Note: Has some very player specific strategies for star players - e.g., those who are taken out in lopsided games or those who will stay in close games at all times and not PH for. So, be careful when using him. Includes the usual: subs defensively w/better players (7th onward up 1-3 runs), blowout sub strategies (but see above), PRs to steal a base late to pad lead.
