I like that it is making sure the top pitchers are rested for the post-season, but if it is starting guys on short rest to do so that is an issue. It should be using the Long Reliever/Spot-Starter position first and then going to other relievers who are rested and have some stamina. Of course, it may be possible that the entire bullpen is tired or something...that then becomes more of a roster management issue, but if you are playing with expanded September rosters this probably doesn't come into play.
