How do I use 2007 Carlos Villeneuva in relief role?

[Barnyard]

Villeneuva is my No. 1 starter and a good one, but his card says he can relieve for up to 4 innings an outing. How do I get HAL to use him in the relief role as well? I'd like to maximize my use of this excellent pitcher.

He has to rest for four days after he starts. So it's not really practical.

I was in a theme league and it worked out that he became a rp for me he ended up 16-8 and I won the championship. he wont get 200 innings but he will get 140. the other thing I like about is that you put him on slow hook and in a tie game hal will leave him in for 4 plus innings. I have had 14 inning games where hal just left him in to finish.

Thanks for the great info folks. Like all of you, I wish I had a few extra million to get another starter so I could use Carlos strictly in the long relief role. Still, he's 6-1 and an all-star to date so I can't really complain.

Again, thank you all!
