Or if I have two similar relievers, I'll split the "closer" role between them. The one with higher endurance gets placed in a combo of MR/CL, the other gets SU/CL.


I'm not much of a fan of the "closer" role as it exists today.
In 1 of my leagues I had a "Closer By Committee" no one had more then 10 saves but 3 guys had 10 1 guy had 76 and the last guy had 5. all 5 pitchers pitched in 50+ games with the top guy pitching in 112 of 154 games but he only had 91IP. My starters were terrible. 3 of my relievers had more wins then all of my SP.
