If your in a non DH league would you choose aggressive on the bunt category(sacrifice)Since it is a national league style play with a non DH.Just wanted to get some input from you guys.Thanks. :?:

I think the primary consideration in making your managerial settings is the type of team you have the ballpark in which you are playing, adjusted for the opponent. If you have good team speed and bunting and hit and run abilities, then be as aggressive as possible. If you're a slugging team without much speed and playing in a park with high BP HR potential, then bunt less ... but put your less powerful hitters on the "bunt more" setting and bunt to "normal," mainly to stay out of double plays to get your heavy hitters to the plate. I don't much care whether it's a DH or non-DH league, I'm going to try to maximize total bases however I can.
