Sets you up for success in long extra inning games and gives you more flexibility to temporarily bring in a different starter into the rotation for a favorable L/R matchup.

The only reason to have a reliever in the bullpen is if he is a lights out closer or you can't afford a starter with the same quality ratings.
Ah yes, maybe something to try. Carl Edwards was my lone gold pull so I've been hanging onto him, but it may be time to cut bait. Of course none of this matters too much with the reset looming, but it is nice to find some kind of strategy.
