Interesting. My experience has been more or less like that described by Rchw above. The manager will pick out one guy he really likes and that reliever will be the first out of the pen as long as he is not exhausted. The only exception is the pitcher I have in the closer role, who is generally used as RL closers are.

In the on-line league in which I play, I even traded away the reliever the manager liked since he wasn't doing very well. It was the only way I could get the manager to stop using him; no matter where I put him on the pitching chart he'd be in there as soon as the starter was out.
