Question to Our Leaguers: How do you setup your bullpen? With the traditional setups/closer, or the more sabermetric stoppers? I've been running a closer, and I think you get some PP for save streaks, but I don't remember if the PP is that big of a deal. Switched to a double stopper setup this morning, will see how it goes.
I have a closer (9th inning), a setup guy (7th or later) and the rest set to middle relief (with a couple high stamina guys as secondary long relief)

probably have to get a really high number on the saves streak to see a big return on points... think I have a 30+ streak once and got around 800 points if I remember right

I do the CM mode while logged in with the Waffletown team, as that's the only way they are going to get a pack... I figure with a 30% chance of drawing any non-live card, it's just not worth spending the points on a pack when I'm limiting the squad to 1945 and earlier... it's a rare thing to see someone usable emerge from a pack... but with the collections missions on the horizon, even the post 1945 and current live player cards will come in handy (not to mention the off chance I pull a solid card I can sell for big points, which turn into AH purchases)... so most of my pack draws just sit on the reserves
