do managers ever intentionally walk someone to set up a double play? only if its a hot hitter right? i think those 2 options are one in the same.

Usually if there are runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out.

yeah good point.
What's to understand? The manager replaces both a pitcher and a position player. BFD.

Typical response from an AL fan.

It ticks me off to no end that pull hitters cannot go the opposite way to beat the shift. Even a half assed check slap down the line would get the slowest runner on first.

Difficult question to definitively answer, some of these strategies are over rated...given certain situations, but they're very good strategies given other situations - as a whole the question's too ambiguous to really answer.
If I had to name one it'd be intentionally walking a hot hitter, trying to nip at the corners and if you fell behind 2-0 or 3-0 then issue the intentional free pass would be fine - just never sits well with me when the white flag is raised before the AB even begins.
