Using Starting Pitchers as Relievers

badamsufl · 07-31-2020, 12:58 AM

I've been pretty good in Bronze leagues, but can't get over the hump to compete into Silver leagues. I just started doing a lot of the live collection missions and have completed the AL, so I have a lot of really good starting pitchers (plus the guys that i originally had - Randy Johnson, Vida Blue, Nolan Ryan, Jack Flaherty and Blake Snell). My relievers are ok(higher 80's plus Joe Nathan and Chapman) but not great. How effective can my higher valued starting pitchers be in reliever roles (Plank, Mussina, Lyons, Blyleven, etc) Is it worth putting them there or am I better off just selling them and getting actual relievers in the 90's? Thanks!

Well, actual relievers in the 90s cost considerably more (thanks FOTF!) than SE starters sell for.

Use what you have, starters work fine in the bullpen.
