I'm using a closer, stopper, two set-up guys, two middle relief guys, and a long reliever. Try to keep one lefty/one right in each set. Every time I've thought about going down to 6 I always seem to have back to back long extra-inning games. |

I use 9. I don't see any reason not to. In beta, I used 10.

I use 7. I like to keep a starter for a long man and 6 closers. I believe in pitching and defense.

I used six for a while when I had starters going deep in games. It worked fine. I make the decision based on how often my last few guys are being used.

I have a 5 man bullpen ATM, with a rotation of high stamina guys and a slow hook.
I don't want a big bullpen for 3 reasons: 1. Nearly all of the defensive achievement rewards require the starter to go deep into a game, if not complete it. 2. I truly believe that you can get more value out of a platoon arrangement than a LOOGY guy and 3. My notions of baseball roster management are 30 years out of date. Zorro, you might find that those 'one size fits all' utility guys are going to be overwhelmed when there's a long string of games and several regulars get tired at the same time. I had trouble with that during the early part of the Beta. It's good to have versatile backups but you still need that depth IMO. Last edited by One Post Wonder; 12-02-2018 at 06:54 PM. |

Yes, but if your position players tire you need a substitute. Of course utility players with multiple positions can remedy that.

In regular OOTP, I use 6 relievers. I've been rolling with 7 for PT, since most of my bullpen options are underwhelming and/or very low stamina.

I think an endgame team has high-stamina elite SPs, a 5-man bullpen, and platoons at the majority of lineup spots. But that requires having an amazing rotation and enough amazing hitters to make a platoon worthwhile, which effectively means having nearly two equally good lineups worth of hitters.
Until that point, I think there are a lot of equally valid ways of doing it. I've found it's often easier getting a solid bullpen in place than a lot of strong hitters, so I've tended to ignore platoons, barely use the bench, and use 7 or even 8 relievers. |

I prefer 8 with a quick hook for both starters and relievers, but I am currently using 7 while I test some things out on the other half of the team.
