Who are using right now?

I have a theme team that doesn't use any players from the MLB2018 set, so the obvious good choices like Treinen, Diaz, and Doolittle are out.
My current group is below, and believe me when I say that I have used a lot of others in the past couple of seasons. I have bought and sold without losing points so it was ok to experiment in my view, but maybe I could have been more patient.
CL Dennis Eckersley (90)
SU Doug Jones (90)
SU Mark Eichhorn (88)
MR Wilcy Moore (88)
MR Willie Hernandez (86)
LR Larry Dierker (83)
I started looking at the stats for this group carefully to explain why I was so disgusted, and I figured out that they were pretty good after all. I was overreacting to a couple of blown saves in a row. I have the #3 bullpen in my conference, and Eckersley has been outstanding. I need to learn to be more patient, but that has been a problem for me since OOTP12.
However, I am still considering that using starters might be better for PT. I thought initially that bullpen guys would give better performance in short stints for less money because I wasn't paying for extra pitches and stamina. I would have trouble affording a bullpen full of diamond starters, and I have to think my group would be better than a group of gold starters.
So, in summary... never mind.
