Modeling use of long reliever - ala Andrew Miller

Is there a way to model who the Indians are using Andrew Miller as a long reliever in that he is acting as a 'stopper' thus eliminating the need for the traditional set-up and closer positions?

I know I can manage this myself but I am wondering how it could be implemented in a sim.

Any thoughts?

I also realize that how he is being used the playoffs would not work across a full season, but man is it amazing to watch now and potentially changing how GM's will view guys like him in free agency.
