Yeah, I noticed last nite too that AT was in reach of Jeep.
Joe - I rarely leave my pen settings 100% blank, but I also never designate a guy as "mop-up", I'm like Jeep in that I let HAL make that decision.
What I usually do is set my best R2 vs LHP as setup LH, and my best R2 vs RHP as setup RH. If my best of either of those happens to be an R1, I'll still use them in the slot but set them to not enter before 7th inning.
For cheap R1 specialists I'll check quick hook, avoid, etc. That usually leaves 1 Astacio type as the traditional "long man" in the pen who comes in if my SP gets knocked out prior to the 5th, but HAL is making the decisions in those cases.
