Hi all,

I'm new to this, and I have a .5 mil relief pitcher that I want only used in absolute emergencies. Unfortunately, he's getting some work. It sucks when a guy like that gives up a hr in the 10th inning when KRod hasn't even played. What strategies do people have for avoiding guys? Is it a good idea or bad to click on "mop up"?

Not being an expert all I can advise you to do is put him on avoid his worst side. This should lessen the amount of batters he faces against his bad side.

Thanks for the advice, I will try these suggesstions. I can't get rid of the guy, I need to have 5 relievers. I have 6,000 dollars left, so can't pick up anyone better. Maybe that wasn't smart, but it's my first time. Anyway, thx.
