Clutch Team Experiment

Okay, so against my better judgement I've decided to pull the trigger and give an experimental high-clutch team a try. I was looking for nine good hitters, decent OBP, very low injury risk, better than average team speed and not a lot of strikeouts or BP home runs. My idea is there will higher chance for clutch "opportunities" that way. Whether it will translate into more runs scored and games in the win column remains to be seen. I'm not very optimistic this will end up being much more than a .500 team in a $100M cap DH league.

The thing I'm struggling with the most is, what is the best lineup to maximize clutch opportunities, and whether should I be aggressive or conservative in my settings for base running, steals, bunts and hit & run.

You need guys to get to 2nd base to bring clutch into play, so I would not shut all that stuff down. But I wouldn't go crazy either.

Here are a bunch of "all clutch" teams I have done in the past:

There were actually many others, but the teams aren't there any more to share.

91 wins, in the playoffs, 31 clutch hits, led the league in runs scored. Not too shabby ...
