Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Most MLB teams carry 6 or 7 relievers total. I personally like to run with 1 LR, 2 MR, 2 SET (of various handedness), and 1 CLS. For a total of 6. If you set one of your LRs to come in the 5th or 6th inning they basically act like a MR. | ||

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4 | I like to carry 1 LR, 2 MR, 2 SET and 1 RHS OR LHS. I prefer the closer by committee approach. Even though it doesn't happen alot, I just hate seeing a guy pitching a shutout pulled for the closer if we're up 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0, especially 3-0. Your management settings are important no matter how you assign your bullpen roles. |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Well that's another vote for an expanded bullpen then. Another benefit of not having a dedicated closer is that this doesn't happen... I expect he'll get another 2 million bump again this year after getting another 40 saves I really think the closers need to be toned down a bit and the starters need to get a little more expensive instead. |

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive | Yeah, I went to closer by committee for the two reasons mentioned by Tiger and Rock about 4 seasons ago. I've really not seen much difference in bullpen performance either, not that it would be easy to tell the difference. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | The only reason I haven't is because my closer really is my most dominate pitcher. He is actually the guy I want in to close games. Its just unfortunately that equates to massive salary inflation. Oh well, I guess if I didn't think he was worth it I could always cut bait... I think he'll still be worth it at 7.5 | ||

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4 | I will say the closers I come up against seem very effective in shutting things down | ||
