For PT, how many relievers do you run?
Since we all have the DH, here is my rotation:
Charlie Morton Walker Buehler Bob Gibson Wilcy Moore Roy Hallady Pen David Price Clayton Kershaw Jordan Hicks Patrick Corbin Dellin Betances Felipe Vazquez Aroldis Chapman Since half my RPs are starters and have high stamina, should I drop a backup position player to add another RP, or is what I have plenty? thanks |

I would say 7 is enough.

I have found that six relievers are enough as long as one of them is a converted SP.

6, with at least 2 being former starters.

I've settled on 7, with at least two of those relievers having starter stamina. That gives you plenty of arms, plus you still have 13 position players ... IMO any more than 13 position players, those guys will barely ever get field action.

I have 14 position players and use them all because of platoons.

Good point. I prefer not to platoon very many positions in PT myself. Unless you are setting your lineups for every game and watching the fatigue and performance to go with it I don't find it as beneficial as it is IRL. |

I platoon like crazy for the most part although a couple of positions I've stabalized with one guy.
My starters all have a ton of stamina so I run with 5 relievers plus Ruth as an emergency guy. He's pitched three times in the last two years.

I have way too much PP locked up in my bullpen due to using topline SPs for 4 of my 6 slots. Just finished the SD missions and got a 100 Hoffman. Thinking hard about dropping one of those SPs into the auction house to turn into more offense...but I worry about losing the firepower. Obviously I'm dealing with a relatively small sample size compared to the entire game universe, but I have experienced far more variability in year-to-year performance from topline RPs than from topline SPs used out of the bullpen.

If you use 5 high-end SPs and have 4-5 more high end starters in the pen, you can get away with just 5 relievers.
I played a few seasons with just 5. But it fails when you are in a very competitive league and your SP gets pulled early against whale teams. In that case, you quickly have an exhausted team and end up losing one or two series against weaker opponents until your pitchers get a day to recover. My suggestion...if you don’t have a team that can easily overpower everyone else, better stay with a minimum of 6 in the bullpen. Use 7 if you have very weak starters that often get pulled after just 2-3 innings.

I run 6 RP on my F2P with 1-2 being converted RP.
I run 5 RP on my best team with 3 being converted SP, and hav e won 5 Perfect titles with this setup. If you have 5 very good starters and multiple RP who can comfortably throw 100+ innings (90+ stamina), then 5 is plenty, IMO. I get a lot of mileage out of using the roster space to run platoons. It also makes my pinch hitting strategy much stronger.
