Two more seasons down, and I don't see the need to keep the test running. The percentages have been virtually identical one season to the next.

Non-DH teams ranged from 64.1% to 94.1% of Saves by Closer -- averaging 77.6%
DH teams ranged from 23.7% to 65.9% of Saves by Closer -- averaging 45.7%.

In only two cases in three seasons did any DH team have a higher percentage of Saves by Closer than the lowest ranked non-DH team. No DH team closer has ever finished in the top 5 in Saves. Only one DH team closer ranks in the top 10 for career saves after 3 seasons.

Running 6.51 with Skydog's suggested 6.5 modifiers. All teams set to Human Manager. Injuries Off. Before each season, I run computer manager to set the pitching rotation. Closers one year sometimes got swapped into Setup roles, and Setup pitchers sometimes got swapped into the closer role.

Those of you who are not having problems with closer usage, do you play with a DH?

Anybody else have any suggested tweaks? I understand that some of you are saying you aren't seeing this -- but I can't not see it, and would like to come up with some sort of fix.
