Your threat title is misnamed. Its not "strikes again," it should be strikes always. Check out the Barnstormers standings and you'll see the leaders all employ this strategy. The geniuses that repriced the cards for ATG9 fixed the single player bargains, but built in a bias against relief pitchers so that (mostly) only this strategy works for $100M leagues and below. Oh and they totally under priced platoons as well. I imagine it was a math problem as Max Power likes to say where Batting Runs weighted by a fixed lefty-righty percentage was set proportional to cost. That's why lefty killers, to a large extent, and righty killers, to a smaller extent, are all under priced.
I've really enjoyed playing the '77 set where you can experiment with different types of teams and be competitive.
