Have updates changed the strategy lately?  Or am I just getting worse?
I was on a roll for a long time with high playoff percentage and pretty decent championship percentage.  It has gone cold.
Best guess is defense may be more important.  I'd stack my lineups and pitchers with only fair to below average defense on the corners and lf rf.

Any thought?

I'm only in my second league ever but it seems like the shortstop and catchers defense is super important.

Defense, especially up the middle is very meaningful now.
