I am just starting out with an all left-handed relief crew and so far HAL isn't driving me crazy, although he still appears to be playing too much of my low priced reliever.

I am seeing quite a few all one-handed relief staffs and I wonder if other managers are attempting to control HAL. Comments?

It's hard to answer out of void. Usually, you put as a set-up reliever the one from whom you would like the most innings. If you have a dominant reliever, then you put this reliever in set-up vs both lh and rh. If your dominant reliever is also a closer, than you can put him all alone in all settings (set-up and closer). Usually, when I have this kind of dominant closer, I also check "don't come before the 7th" to make sure he comes late enough to be able to close the game.

If you don't have a dominant reliever, than you select your best vs lh as set-up vs lh and your best vs rh as set-up vs rh. If they are specialists (if their cards are awful on the other side), then you click on the reliever card "avoid (the other side)" and "1-2 innings max".

For my worst reliever, I usually click "mop-up" and "don't come before the 7th". This way, I usually limit the use of this reliever after the 7th inning, and I have already lost the game. But it does happen from times to times that Hal will use him late in the game in a critical situation, so you have to be careful with this settings---you have to care that you have enough relief to never rely on that worst pitcher.

If you put someone in the "closer" role only, this reliever will pitch few innings, and he will only comes to save games. In my opinion, this setting is useful if you have a cheap bullpen, with a cheap closer.

Finally, my experience is that the settings work better for reverse pitchers. For example, it works better if you have a lefty as a set-up vs rhp than if you have a right-handed in the same role. The reason is that the reverse relievers see fewer pinch-hitters.

So what is best to do with a closer who is not also the dominant reliever, i.e R1/C6? Leave closer setting blank?

Are you speaking about the CD ROM version? I would think so since the TSN version doesn't support SuperHAL Bullpen logic.

I've got my logic lines from a league I was in last year. I liked it pretty well. Especially since there were usage limits for the league.
