I don't really understand the different roles and truly think they are just for "realism" and make no difference. Usually a minimum of 7 bullpen arms unless you have time to micro and have depth to swap out gassed arms, then you can go with fewer. I think it is very helpful to have reserve depth to keep the bullpen fully rested. For tournaments with no rest days, I use 8 bullpen guys.
As far as Chapman goes or any high stuff guy set the slider to never pitch around.

Thanks Bailey for your comments. Either most of you guys have it figured out and want to keep it secret, or your just as confused as me lol. What Bailey described, however, is at least logical.
