i want devine to pitch as much as possible; what should my settings be to make this happen?

Thank you very much for your thoughts!

Personally I think you have spent too much on pitching you have both a sold rotation and a lot of high priced relievers.

I would agree that you are overpaying for pitching on this team, especially in a DH league. With Lilly, Devine, Marmol, and Oliver, you are paying a premium for guys without BP Singles, when they are only 1-5 at your home park. With pretty strong starters in a Pitcher's park, I doubt you'll get a 13 million dollar bullpen to pay off no matter how you configure it.

If you really like Devine (which I don't), you can certainly downgrade Marmol and Oliver, because you don't need two R2 guys on your team. If you try to maximize Devine's innings, those guys will never pitch enough innings to pay off.

Span is a better value if you play him in Center (as is Blanco for that matter). Maybe you can get a better bat than Anderson to play right with the extra money.
