For Coca-Cola?

I assume you caught wind of J-Pav's annual look at the previous Strat season in which he dissects many championship teams in leagues in which he played. He seeks commonalities from among these teams and them summarizes them in his [i:4206d43552]Secret Formula[/i:4206d43552] posts.

Short version: Spend $32M on your pitchers, $48M on your hitters and construct your player's salaries appropriately.
