Advice on setting up pitching staff

[jagint]

I would like to hear some advice on how to set up pitching for this team.

I have 4 SP* and Nathan as closer. I also have Reyes, Eyre, and Desens in the penn. How can I maximize the bullpen? Who should I have at SET UP? Reyes, Eyre, both? Should I set my SP's to quick hook?

Playing at Turner, other parks at my division: Petco, Coors, Metrodome

:?: Thanks!

Too much money in the bullpen. I'd drop Eyre and Dessens for Shields and Eischen and pick up a under 1 mil hard righty to compliment shouse. Spend the leftover money to increase weak offense!

And actually, Patterson, Glavine and J Johnson could be usuable to you too if you need more money.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into your suggestions. I know I have too much money in the bullpen. I just wish I could tell HAL not to do some things that have got me in trouble... :?

Definitely downgrade Eyre and Dessens. Get cheap situational bullpen guys to complement your 2 studs. Also, your staff is solid enough where you won't need a great bullpen. Your offense is anemic but I actually do like your strategy. I think you need to use the extra money and add one or two stud players that aren't quite so dependent on ballpark hrs. You are playing in a fairly neutral park so I think you can get better value than guys like Floyd and Dye.

I'm looking to improve at RF but don't see anybody available now. I'll try trading... Floyd has done very well for me in LF at Turner and overall. Got till Monday to see if anyone becomes available. Thanks!
