Well, Oakland and Boston are two nice starters, but Detroit seems to be a counterpoint. The author points out handedness and patience are more important than the fly ball effect but Seattle not only was 3d in fly ball hitter PAs, but also in PAs with the platoon advantage (67%) and 6th in P/PA.
Detroit accumulated just plain old good hitters, but at quite a budget. Red Sox were a high budget team, but also took advantage of fly ball hitters and handedness for the positions not filled by "stars" like Ortiz, Pedroia, and Ellsbury (Nava / Gomes, slotting in Carp for Napoli, switch hitters like Salty, Nava, and for part of the year Victorino).
