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.

On the other hand, with no injuries to worry about overworking your bullpen isn't a concern. I drew an elite bullpen in my packs so I gave my SPs a short hook and leaned into it. It's worked well for me.
