SuperHAL bullpen and the
Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 12:41 pm
I thought some people might be interested in this team, just since I think it's fairly unusual. I put together a 2009 team with matchup type starters who rarely went long into games, and used Angel Guzman as a super reliever and Bingo--233 innings and 17 wins. All totaled up, I got 555 relief innings out of this squad, including three guys with 100+ relief innings and three guys with 10+ saves.

It had the best record in the league, but lost game 7 in the finals, after my bullpen choked away a 4 run lead, of course. :roll:
I used "regular" bullpen 90+% of the time. Most of my starters were not on either quick or slow hook, just let HAL decide when to take them out, and I think he did a very good job with that. I ended up with only 7 complete games, which I think was about right with mostly S5 starters. Team ERA was 2nd in the league.
Other strange stat--Check out George Kottaras. 46 doubles and 47 RBIs!?!?
