I agree it isn't a move you typically see, but there are certainly scenarios where it isn't crazy. If for example a win would clinch a division title, I'd use my closer to make sure we won the game.

Yeah, we had 1 guy unavailable. I play with 27 man rosters (it's a fictional league) so we carry 13 pitchers. 5 starters 8 relievers.
