I’m 100% behind this idea. Seems like it would be a great improvement and not extremely hard to implement, but what do I know.
Something else to consider, if possible, is a “use more often” option for long relievers. I feel like the current setup - normal/avoid high leverage - isn’t enough when you may have, say, around, 4 or even 5 long men of varying quality. What if I have 2 great long men who were formerly starters, 2 average ones and 1 slightly below average long man? Instead of having 2 set to normal and 3 to avoid high-leverage, I’d prefer setting 2 to use more often, 2 to normal and 1 to avoid high leverage.
