You have simmed 35 years with 6.5b?

There is nothing wrong with my settings, its a logic problem in the game like I said. I get plenty of CG like you do, more than current baseball by about the same numbers as you. I am expecting closers on good teams to get 30-40 saves. Thats been my average over the 23 year history of my solo league. Saves in general for each team is about 40-50. Now I can live with those numbers so my league settings are right. But look at Derek4jc's post those totals are exactly like what I am getting on every team.

I have tried all the versions, 6.5, 6.5a, 6.5b and get the same results. I have tried moving the closer into the setup roles, while the numbers get a little better, there are still too many saves going to the scrubs in the middle of the bullpen. I broke this down before when we had this problem before so you can probably search it if you want because Im not posting it all agian. But basically I looked at the closer use in MLB over the last 5 years and excluding players who were injured/traded/or removed for ineffectiveness, a teams closer got ATLEAST 90% of a teams saves. That means if there was a reliever put in to get a save it was the closer. In most cases that number was more like 95%. The best OOTP has done from my calculations is around 80%. But Ill take that over the 40-50% I am getting currently.

So I dont know what your doing but you seem to be the only one who has posted that you dont have a problem.
