How many pitchers are you carrying? If you're carrying a modern-day 13 man staff, for example, that might be a huge part of why: 1990 has I think 11 man staffs - 6 man bullpens - set as the default and the AI manager is unlikely to dip further down into that staff than the 6th person (which might not even be the long reliever, exactly: if you have, say, a closer, a setup man, a long reliever, and 5 middle relievers, the 5th best MR might be the one who's never used).
