Six-Man Rotations

Hey, I'm thinking of using a six-man rotation for the first time in OOTP due to an incredible amount of great starters on my team. This'll probably be a one-year thing (plan on dropping to four man next year), but what roster adjustments will I need to make in the short-term in your experiences?

I was thinking of dropping the third middle reliever and only having two, with the traditional two set-up men and a closer. Is that a good idea? My two middle relievers both have high stamina (above six), so I can always use them as long relievers/spot starters if the need arises.

Currently though, I have one more spot on my twenty-five man left and I like to devout that roster spot to another utility player in the mold of a Ryan Theriot or Bill Hall, but I do already have Drew Sutton and he's capable of playing every infield position and left field which potentially minimizes my need for the super utility.

Thanks for the advice,

Storm
