For instance +6 to -6 could be used to mean I only want this guy to come in during blow out situations where I am either winning or losing by 6 runs. So basically the range from +6 through infinity back through negative infinity up until -6

Flip your LR and LR2 around. For your more reliable LR, put the limit in you want, like -6 to +6. For your rookie LR2 make it -infinity to +infinity. That's exactly what I do for my set-up guys and it works like a charm. The only problem will be in situations where it calls for a long reliever and your first guy is unavailable. In that instance it will call on your rookie LR2 instead of going to your middle relievers (I think that's the progression). To help that out, you can set their hook to whatever you're comfortable with. Updated Tuesday, February 16 2016 @ 6:38:51 pm PST
