Ill tell you what my pen is in 2004 using Total minors roster (Mets)
Mopup :
Grant Roberts RHP (4 AR) - use him to go long inning, be it extra innnings, a big lead, or im getting blown out.
Middle Relievers :
Paul Shuey RHP (8 AR) - solid usually use him in the 6th or 7th if my SP tires or he can pitch the 8th or 9th if Im up by more than 3 runs.
Scott Eyre LHP (6 AR) - signed him as a FA and he does nicely in the middle innnings (6-7) against LHB or weak RHB.
Scott Strickland RHP (7 AR) - I sparingly use him, just give him work to get others rest. He performs pretty nicely though.
Setup Men :
Jaime Cerda LHP (8 AR) - pitches the 8th innnig if its a favorable one for a LHP or the 9th sometimes if im up by more than 3.
Scott Williamson RHP (7 AR) - My Setup Men unless there are tough lefties coming up.
Closer :
Octavio Dotel RHP (9 AR) - I use him obviously in save situations, and the first guy in extra innings. Sometimes ill give him the middle innnings if im getting blown out.
I like to keep a long reliever (mopup), 2 RHP and 1 LHP in the MR section, 1 LHP and 1 RHP in the setup men, and a closer. I use 12 pitchers, 7 in the bullpen. My team is this 8 regulars, 5 SP, 7 bullpen, 5 bench. 8+5=13. 7+5=12. 12+13=25. How do you guys fill out your rosters ( I realize its different in the NL and AL with DH, but im always the Mets)
